Web3 will definitely subvert Web2, that's for sure, even if Jesus said it, it wouldn't work.
You should not see that Web2 is still very powerful now. A website can easily have a market value of tens of billions of dollars. In fact, Web2 is creating its own gravediggers every moment, and its underlying logic is no longer good.
Why do you say that? Do you see how the Web2 company boasts about its power? Isn’t it just that we have a lot of users (accounts), a lot of user data, and a lot of user assets? The more they promote this, the more they tell everyone that I am powerful because I possess your rights.
In the past, everyone was stupid. We would first connect to the Internet and then talk about it. Convenience comes first. We will talk about identity, rights, and assets later. As a result, seventy, eighty, or ninety super giants were created to control everything.
Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from this. Let’s ask the companies. Nowadays, any company that still has some sense of scale and autonomy is willing to hand over data to the giants and let you take it away. Enterprises have awakened. Next are small B, big C, and small C. In the end, everyone will demand independent identity, independent data, independent social relationships, independent assets, and independent rights and interests. This trend is irreversible.
Many people only look at the status quo and dismiss the power of ideas. Indeed, in some areas with extremely high concentration, such as social networks and short videos, individual users or weak Internet celebrities, big Vs, and MCN institutions have to obediently stretch their necks and let the platform ride. Go for it, but which one of them is not full of grievances? Which one is not full of anger? Every time the platform deletes posts and bans accounts, it tightens the noose for Web2 and adds fuel to the fire of Web3.
People's mentality has changed, their ideas have changed, and once this change is initiated, it is irreversible.
Right now this transition is subtle and slow because Web3 technology is not yet mature enough. This is mainly because the idea of Web3 has taken a long detour. For example, there was too much emphasis on blockchain in the past, and blockchain was used for everything. But now the problems with Web3 thinking are being rapidly corrected. Some people are beginning to face specific problems and fully use various cryptographic tools and components, including blockchain, to construct protocols and solve practical problems.In fact, this is just a layer of window paper. Once it is pierced, technology and infrastructure will develop rapidly like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the entire industry will soon take on a completely new look.
Within a few years, once users have tasted the taste of autonomous identity, autonomous data, and autonomous assets, they will not be willing to return to the Web2 world and suffer the consequences even if you whip them with a whip.
Again, this trend is irreversible.
By the way, don’t talk about supervision. Don’t think that Web3 does not support supervision. In fact, Web3 supports supervision, and Web2 has no say at all. In other words, once regulators use Web3's regulatory mechanism, they can't go back.
It's a pity that there are still too many people in Web3 staring at the little money in front of them all day long. It's a pity because the real big opportunity has already appeared.
