I suspect this is how people miss booms, waiting to be invited. Same thing happened with PCs, Web1, Web2.
This is a crash-only party. Nobody is invited. Everybody is a party crasher. Starting with Satoshi crashing central banker party. Crash in or sit it out. wwmt is silly.

As with Web1 and Web2, most creators get nothing, the rest are power-law distributed.

I think Web3 is waiting for its cgi moment. Web1 went from memoryless to stateful over ~5 years with cookies+cgi. Web3 is coming from the other extreme, from only immutable memory towards stateful.

It’s not just gas fees. The whole persistence model is like eeprom. Write operations are like flashing in embedded programming. Need a throwaway state on top that gives up some trustless verifiability for convenience for the less critical stuff.

Like if you wanted to use NFTs as tokens in a decentralized wallet-to-wallet game, where do hold game state? In a Web2 style db layer? That seems wrong. But it also seems silly to store game state on chain.

Okay fine not necessarily state, but *some* controlled transient persistence model that’s decoupled from browser session but is less expensive/permanent than on-chain, while still being Web3 native paradigm-wise.

State is usually bad. What you really want in most situations are values and references (see infoq.com/presentations/ and infoq.com/presentations/).

This seems like the beginnings of an answer, though you need opensea to be a TTP temporarily. It’s not quite p2p decentralized state.

Well, I guess I had to dabble in at least 1 memecoin. Sent 0.042E (about $200 rn) to the project that's trying to buy a copy of the US constitution at auction. tx succeeded and I claimed my tokens, but I don't see tx or message on the juicebox feed yet 🧐

I'm just shamelessly copy-pasting your web3 journey so far - do you solve for gas fees somehow? Or just accept whatever it is?
