Web inventor Tim Berners Lee tells us we can and we should ignore web3 aka blockchain, cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens

β€œIt’s a real shame in fact that the actual Web3 name was taken by Ethereum folks for the stuff that they’re doing with blockchain. In fact, Web3 is not the web at all.”

β€œBlockchain protocols may be good for some things but they’re not good for Solid,” a web decentralization project led by Berners-Lee, he said. β€œThey’re too slow too expensive and too public. Personal data stores have to be fast, cheap and private.”
