You realize all this web3 stuff runs on top of the internet right?

There are centralized CAs, domain/ip registrars, ISPs…shit even the libraries that comprise your entire computing stack all come from centralized databases!

Your comment is stored on a database.

USDC/Tether have private databases and their collateral is held by third parties in again their own database.

I would prefer all of the databases used within the internet infrastructure to be immutable append-only blockchains maintained without any centralized trusted third party.
