I moved here for the IRL Web3 community.
Today I’ve decided to stop using the term “Web3”.
It’s a Marketing buzzword and I don’t think it is helpful long term.
Crypto, NFTS, DAOs, Blockchain & the commmunities behind them are why I’m here. 📍
2022’s buzz word was “Metaverse” . Everyone was obsessed and ‘Meta’ dumped a cool $14 billion U.S. dollars into marketing to inflate the hype.
Now we’re 1 month deep into 2023, the Metaverse balloon has popped and AI and specifically “ChatGPT” has taken over.
