It is not a wealth freedom business opportunity, it is a family that harvests leeks.
After more than a year of low-key communication, web 3.0 ignited the investment enthusiasm of VCs and also entered the vision of ordinary entrepreneurs.
Web 3.0 refers to a decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain technology, which many believe represent the next phase of the internet and one of the biggest technology trends of 2022. Cryptopolitan data shows that in the first quarter of 2022, Web3.0 startups have received more than $173 million in investment. The investment for the full year of 2020 was only $20 million.
There are many new concepts, upgrades are fast, and before the future comes, before subverting the traditional Internet, Bitcoin, NFT, Meta universe, and web 3.0 should first close the door to "fight by yourself." It is also a derivative of the blockchain, under the tide of web 3.0, the metaverse that was still supported by many yesterday has suddenly become old.
When Tesla CEO Musk, a veteran bitcoin player, also dismissed web 3.0, the window for winning the future slowly closed, leaving leeks with even less time to improve their cultivation.
People who have experienced the story of Bitcoin's rise and fall should have some understanding that the big guys in the currency circle who have called for wind and rain in the past, in addition to looking at each other across the sea, do not dare to face users and supervision no matter what. After the price rises and falls, the value is calculated, except for several large exchanges, we have not seen the blockchain present a scale-level industrial scene.
So much so that some people pessimistically believe that virtual currency may be the only opportunity for blockchain.
Paradoxically, the web 3.0 that emphasizes ecology, and the coin circle and NFT that are the king of prices, although they are all due to the blockchain, are not connected by the same gas, and contradictory things are staged every day.
At the end of 2021, due to the news of the IPO, opensea, the largest overseas NFT trading platform, was boycotted by users and launched the opendao community to "tokenize" opensea assets to share for free with the latter's users.
Despite this web 3.0 decentralization, it does not have the ability to control opensea within a realistic legal and financial framework. In the final analysis, the current major virtual currency, NFT, meta-universe platform, in terms of technology and business logic are centralized products, their founders and investors, have the most primitive Internet model monetization needs.
More ironically, web 3.0 advocates the use of blockchain protocols to create an open community, allowing each user to control their own information assets. But without user scale, there is no value realization, and having user scale means competition, which means the emergence of large platforms and returns to centralized web 2.0.
Just like the opendao that holds opensea back, due to tokenization, itself is trapped in the trap of price speculation, who will "regulate" opendao? One dao community after another? Technically, the ring sets the ring and becomes a trap and a trap on the price.
Why is it so contradictory? Because of all the above, even the blockchain itself does not present a clear technical route and industrial template. People who follow the trend of blockchain are right and wrong, right is the spirit of courage to explore, and wrong is the risk of closing their eyes and not mentioning it.
And the onlookers, the method of identification is very simple, the value is not enough to make up the price, the price value is upside down, it is not a wealth freedom business opportunity, it is a ruin in harvesting leeks.
Web 1.0 is the portal era, web 2.0 is the social era, what is the era of web 3.0? I'm not sure, but it should definitely not be a million-dollar NFT "Boring Ape Yacht Club", nor should it be a virtual real estate of 32 million yuan in the meta-universe...
