Web 3.0 | Will it take off?

As we all know Web 3.0 is massively growing with blockchain , NFTs, cryptocurrencies, decentralised domain names etc...

I would like to know your honest opinions on it and what does this mean for web & app developers?

I think a lot of ideas and inventions from Web3 will take off and/or stick around — but a lot of the discourse right now is whether this thing we currently have exactly will be the basis for it — and I don't think so. It just doesn't make sense that something with so many fundamental problems will be the backbone for a paradigm switch instead of being inspiration for whatever actually leads to a shift.

I couldn’t agree with you more, you’ve hit the nail on the head with that. I also agree with @jonrandy blockchain needs to be removed.

I agree with @halpern ...

A lot of the ideas and philosophies are good, but Blockchain just needs to be removed from the picture. Check out Sir. Tim Berners-Lee's "Solid" for an alternative vision of a decentralised web.

No. Web 3 is slow, cost a lot, use too much energy.

It's a Lure.

Web developers will continue to miss the point why blockchains (or DAG based DLTs) take off, but they will be hired to build beautiful frontends for web3 anyway. Eventually in 3 to 5 years UX of finance apps in web3 will surpass UX of finance apps in web2. Data privacy and identity will follow.

web 3.0 has the lot of advantages and also some disadvantages. So, at this time it's hard to going with it. As per my knowledge, it's not totally released to work on it safely.
