The way I see it, web3 requires a complete paradigm change in order to actually work, on any scale. In other words, we have to consider the psychology of it, not just the functional mechanics.

People are deeply resistant to change. The first automobile was on the road in 1886, but it wasn't until the 1930's that you really just had cars on the roads. The first mass produced mobile phone was on the market in 1983, but many people still had land lines "just in case," 30 years later. Same holds for the advent of the Internet, itself.

Point? Even after they get past initial resistance to change, most people try to use the new like they used the old. Heck, many of my customers (granted, quite a few of them are older) buy online, but still request paper invoices, which is a pre-online thing.

Web3 will be great, but we have to work past the underlying psychology of Web2, which has its roots in scarcity, which leads to fear, which leads to greed, which takes us right to the doorstep of what these ostensible "Web3" projects are doing.

And sorry, I don't have a magic pill for changing a psychological mindset. Time, perhaps, is our best friend...
