I find it funny that we still call this web3. Web3 might still be something that comes up, might even be the GPT wave.

Apparently the name stuck because some libraries and websites already adopted the term even if there was no Web3 at all. Lol Jack Dorsey's already working on a Web5 that nobody is interested either.

I think that the real Web3 will be mature and developed enough that there will be no need to create a bunch of apps boasting they're on the Web3 nor libraries abstracting Web3 APIs called "web3.js" before the term is even tangible

I wonder if saying "I am the next big thing" has any impact on the probability of being relevant in 15 years.
