[Cryptography] Interesting discussion of Web 3.0 ...

[Jerry Leichter]

by Moxie Marlinspike.  Very brief summary:  dApps and NFT's are nowhere near what they claim to be (even if you actually want what they claim to be).  Good quote:  "I have only dipped my toe in the waters of web3. Looking at it through the lens of these small projects, though, I can easily see why so many people find the web3 ecosystem so neat. I don’t think it’s on a trajectory to deliver us from centralized platforms, I don’t think it will fundamentally change our relationship to technology, and I think the privacy story is already below par for the internet (which is a pretty low bar!), but I also understand why nerds like me are excited to build for it."

I won't try a less-brief summary - the whole article is worth reading.
