So far, I have been delving into the #Web3 and #crypto debate only superficially, as the very few notions I got led me to abhor any kind of technology related to the #blockchain.

Since I started my new job at @dweb, though, I am finding myself revisiting my position by deepening my knowledge on the topic. I am mostly drawing the same conclusions—crypto is terrible—yet I am glad I am learning more also on what I am very critical about.

I am particularly thankful to @mai for writing this article, which I believe is a great starting point to develop an informed opinion.

Above all, as mai points out, nothing is all-bad, and there are for sure ideas and practices that can be learned (as cautionary tales in the worst case scenarios) even from problematic technologies, communities, and/or founders.

After weeks of delay in closing the proposed Ziff Davis Enterprise acquisition of ReadWriteWeb, and seeing Ars Technica and PaidContent both get bought in mid-2008, I decide enough is enough. I'd spent $50k of my own money to try and get this deal done, and it was all for nothing. cybercultural.com/p/034-rww-wi #InternetHistory #Web2 #Serialization

In the #aughts (but probably starting a couple years earlier), we saw the rise of #web2, and the mass adoption of #MySpace, #Facebook, #Twitter. Especially with the rise of #cellphones with built-in cameras and #webbrowser enabled #smartphones, the information really began to flow in two directions with #UserGeneratedContent. I like to think of this as a one-dimensional vector field, where information was flowing in two directions, but still only in one dimension. 5/16
