Why did the
#decentralized #decentralization #blockchain #crypto $crypto #cryptocurrency #community
drop the term peer to peer (P2P)?
Are P2P capital networks a good label for what we want to build? Why or why not?

Web 2.0 was first used in 1999 and popularize by O'Rielly - Web 2.0 Conference 2004 was the real kickoff http://conferences.oreillynet.com/web2con/ - so it was early.

What do you associate with Web 2.0, now? Do you think it describes modern web apps in 2018? Tangent: What a lineup of speakers, wow. Imagine getting all of those people in the same room today.

I think it still has some roots in "social web" - it's just now that, 15 years in, we understand that the social web actually has created concentrated power like nothing before, so it's lost the disruptive sheen. Could argue it just means app built b/n 2003ish and now, as well.
-
BTW, part of the reason I think "crypto" is the default - even more than blockchain or web3 - is that it feels more evocative of disruptive power reclamation, whereas web3 is too easy to dismiss as just a descriptor of "the thing after web2"
