Why People Say Web3 Is "Decentralized" ??
If you’ve been around the Web3 space for a while, you’ve probably heard the word “decentralized” thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean? 🤔
Let’s break it down for newbies 👇
In Web2 (what powers apps like Instagram, banks, or YouTube), data is stored in centralized servers owned by companies. This means one company controls everything – your account, your data, and even the rules.
Now, enter Web3 🔑
In Web3, *decentralization* means that no single person or company controls the entire system. Instead, control is shared across many computers (called nodes) using blockchain technology.
Here’s what that changes:
- ✅ No middlemen: You can send crypto or own NFTs without needing a bank or big tech company.
- ✅ More control: You own your wallet, your data, and your assets.
- ✅ Open systems: Anyone can participate – it’s not limited to just a few gatekeepers.
So, when we say Web3 is decentralized, we mean power is spread out – and it belongs to the community, not just big corporations.
