The work I do is also very web2. I haven't deliberately built a personal brand or sought extensive influence like those opinion leaders who have large followings on social media.
I am more like an ordinary internet user and content creator, recording life and sharing experiences in my own way in the digital world.
Perhaps I will write a tutorial to teach everyone how to interact with various valuable things, and occasionally I might write a blog to share my recent technical insights; I might answer a newbie's question on a forum to help him solve his confusion. But these actions are more out of interest and spontaneous sharing, rather than aiming to become a 'leader' in a certain field.
My work and daily activities mostly revolve around web2. Web2 is the second generation of the internet, emphasizing user-generated content, social interaction, and centralized platform services.
These jobs, while fulfilling and giving me a place in the internet ecosystem, still fundamentally belong to the traditional internet model. Every day when I open my computer, I face familiar social media, blog platforms, and collaboration tools. Although these tools are convenient, they also make me realize that there seems to be a distance between me and the emerging technological trends.
However, the world of the internet is never stagnant. With the rise of web3, I began to feel a subtle driving force. Web3 is not just a technical upgrade; it represents a completely new idea: redefining our relationship with the digital world through blockchain, decentralized applications, and user data sovereignty. Compared to the centralized model of web2, web3 emphasizes fairness, transparency, and user control. I began to ask myself: If the future of the internet is web3, should I do something to welcome this change?
So, I took the first step—learning. I started to study the basics of blockchain, understand how cryptocurrencies work, and try to experience some decentralized applications (DApps). These new things are both unfamiliar and attractive to me. I found that web3 is not just a pile of technical jargon; it carries a possibility: allowing ordinary people to truly own their digital identities and assets, rather than relying entirely on large tech companies. This idea excites me and makes me think about how to apply my skills and experience to this new field.
Of course, the transition from web2 to web3 is not easy. My current knowledge and professional foundation are built on traditional internet, and completely shifting to an unfamiliar field requires a lot of time and effort. But I am not in a hurry to achieve success. I prefer to explore with an open mind and accumulate experience step by step. I might spend some time studying project white papers, or I could start by participating in an open-source blockchain project; these small practices may seem insignificant, but they are my bridges to the future.
In this process, I am not pursuing to be a public figure like a KOL. My goal is simple: to keep pace with the times and find my place in the digital world.
I believe that as long as I maintain an attitude of learning and practice, I will gradually adapt to the changes brought by web3. Perhaps one day, I will create a decentralized community of my own or contribute to a certain community. Even if these goals sound a bit distant, I am still willing to work hard for them.
Every evolution of the internet is an opportunity, and I am standing at the crossroads from web2 to web3, filled with curiosity and anticipation, ready to embrace my digital new chapter.
