The Problems with Web3 and NFTs

Okay, so this may seem like a lazy post since it is essentially reposting the content of others - but I think this stuff is so important that it's worth spreading the message.

If you are considering getting involved with Web3 (as it relates to blockchain), NFTs, or other stuff like this - whether just as a participant, or as a developer... please consider watching or reading one or both of these extremely well researched pieces.

A great, long read - https://tante.cc/2021/12/17/the-third-web/

An excellent (again, long) video - over 2 hours:

Full disclosure

I do personally own some crypto (worth a non-trivial amount), but I was given it for free as part of a previous job's remuneration package.

I love the idea of being able to represent and trade anything with arbitrary definition of value (not just financial $ price). NFTs are a great idea. However the current craze is just that and eventually folk will realise that this is just a tool and that they've been one too.
