Interesting run down of where we were and what we are building right now.

A question I have is why do you feel web3 has become a term and movement we are seeing now? Reason I'm asking is because IPFS, Storj (sub 2018 era projects) and general peer to peer incarnations like music sharing, torrenting and p2p have been around a while now but the web3 "trend" is more recent.

Yes, they have been around for sometime. The way I see it is web3 is the rebranding of decentralized tech. I think that the cryptocurrency part really accelerated the development and usage because of the economic incentives and with that the tech stack is growing.
