These AHA-Moments helped Web3 Click (and made me bullish on Solana)
gm! These are my notes on my misconceptions, what shocked me the most, and details that were glossed over in other writings.Here’s what I wish I knew about 1 week down the web3 rabbit hole — hopefully this saves you some time.
Note: This isn’t meant as a blockchain primer. You’ll get value from reading this if you have a high level understanding and have been dipping your toes into crypto already. Re-writing existing blockchain resources won’t bring you value. imo.
State of the World
Here’s a framing of the world to take as you continue down the rabbit-hole.
The world is owned by governments, conglomerates, and people with lots of influence. Incentive structures all favor the people at the top and the owners of “things” — be this a country, a company, or a house. As a consumer I don’t have rights online with my data and privacy being fully ignored, and have little insight into where my food/clothing/etc. even comes from.
What if instead everything was out in the open, validated, verified, and secure? A world with full transparency and privacy at the same time?
My Personal AHAs
In no particular order notes I jotted down as I realized something “clicked”…
