I think it captures a lot of the current culture with crypto and NFTs. A lot of it reminds me of when reality TV began. Suddenly we had a new class of celebrities who weren't singers or actors. Reality TV stars, famous people whose claim to fame was being famous.
Circular logic. Positive fedback loops. You should "invest" in this NFT collection because look at how many other people are buying this NFT collection.
Web3 is more than speculative NFTs and I expect we'll see some important things come out of it, just with a lot of surprises and broken expectations along the way.

Like... what?
Like decentralised compute - putting idle CPUs and energy to use. How far that can be taken remains to be seen.

I look at many projects, token issuances, and defi protocols, as economic and social experiments.

I think it is best understood as a bunch of crypto millionaires sucking each other's dicks.
Flamebait like this will get you banned here. No more of this, please.
Exactly the kind of ignorant comment I’ve come to expect from this forum whenever crypto is even tangentially related to the topic.
It’s been almost 15 years, you’re getting left behind.
Please keep tedious flamewar off HN. You've been posting a lot like this, and we ban that sort of account. It's not what this site is for, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are.
That is the best explanation of Web3, it is like one of those Reddit April's folks events, just a social game.
