A good way to appreciate the potential of Web3 is to note that it’s going nuts *without* paradigm-native basic messaging or search services. It’s like Web1 exploding *before* Google and Hotmail

People are still willing to work around the inconvenience. Discord and Etherscan are like Pine and Gopher

No because obvious solutions to both exist and people are competing to build them

yep, and while the native messaging & search/discovery services will emerge, I think web3 will look more like a refactoring of web2 around digitally native stores of value

web3 is not going to replace web2
the things we've learned over the past few decades about open source, architecture, infra, distribution, protocols...are not going away
but the part that is going to change will fundamentally reshape the value structures of the part that isn't twitter.com/levie/status/1…

I think that’s the wrong way to think about it. Who needs messaging (though there’s Discord) and search when you can make $$$ 100x returns? In all honesty, do you think the space would have had as much attention at this point without the $$$? Search would have been table stakes
