Back in the day, internet was like an uncharted ocean. You could look but not touch – just a vast expanse of information. Over time, though, things got interesting. The adult industry played a role (as it often does), and the internet evolved into what we know today. But here's the twist: progress seems to have hit a plateau. 🤔

Now, let's rewind to 2008. Imagine CERN, the particle physics lab, unveiling a groundbreaking concept called "The Grid." Picture this: every cellphone, regardless of brand or OS, connecting to a central server – The Grid. Suddenly, your phone becomes a quantum-powered beast, capable of zipping massive files across the digital universe in seconds. How? Well, those paired devices were in real-time sync with The Grid.

But wait, there's more! The Grid wasn't just a server; it was an evolving algorithm. Every piece of data stored there – lyrics, plans, emails, cat memes – automatically made its way into the search engine. It was like Google on steroids. And guess what? Your old, clunky phone didn't need a memory upgrade or a fancy OS. The Grid handled it all, like a cosmic IT department.

Now, fast-forward to today. We're still stuck with the same old internet. Why? Because The Grid – that magical, decentralized wonder – remains hidden away in CERN's secret lair. It's like having a Lamborghini locked in your garage but commuting on a rusty bicycle. 🚴‍♂️

Imagine merging The Grid with Web3 – the blockchain-powered, decentralized internet. Boom! Monopolies would crumble, banks would sweat, and Facebook might rethink its life choices. But alas, we're here, browsing cat videos and arguing about pineapple on pizza. 🍍🍕

So, my friend, why are we clinging to this outdated internet? Maybe it's time to dust off The Grid, fire up those quantum engines, and sail into uncharted waters once more. 🌐⚡

Are we sure we are really free from corporation, banks etc?

Coze to me it looks like we are stock in the 80" with pseudo.progress?

How about a world where every-fucking-one would have the same identical opportunity? Does it scares you so much to be free?
