You’ve probably heard people say:
“Web3 is the future.”
“We’re early.”
“WAGMI, bro.”
But what is Web3, really?
Let’s break it down.
No jargon. No headache. Just facts (and some fun).
⸻
👶 Web1 (The Read-Only Era)
• Like the internet in the 90s.
• You could read stuff.
• That’s it. No comments. No likes. Just… HTML and dial-up noises.
🧓 “Grandpa’s internet.”
⸻
🧑🎤 Web2 (The Like & Share Era)
• Welcome to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok.
• You can post, like, comment, and go viral (or get canceled).
• But here’s the catch: Big Tech owns everything.
Your data, your content, your soul.
💼 You’re the product, not the customer.
⸻
🦾 Web3 (The Ownership Era)
• Built on blockchain.
• You can now own:
• Your money (crypto)
• Your identity (wallet)
• Your digital stuff (NFTs, tokens, domain names)
No middleman. No permission needed.
Just you + the blockchain = freedom (and sometimes chaos).
⸻
🤔 So… Web3 is better?
Kinda.
It’s like trying to move from rental life (Web2)
to owning your digital house (Web3).
Still under construction. The floors are uneven. But it’s yours.
⸻
TL;DR:
Web1 = read
Web2 = read + write
Web3 = read + write + own
⸻
💬 Still confused?
Comment your wildest guess of what Web4 might be.
(My bet: AI pets on-chain that argue with your fridge.)
