In my latest walk that I have published in my post, I did take a breath, but my mind didn't, and it was working on different topics... lol... Or it was more active because of the fresh air? 😃 In any case, one important thing came to my mind... Are we ready for Web 3.0? I know that the term Web 3.0 is overhyped and it is used for almost everything and most of the time it is used to camouflage Web 2.0 things into it...
I saw a post (or it was a comment?), but I forgot who was the author, where the conclusion was that most people don't even care if something is built on the principles of Web 3.0 at all... One of the problems is that nobody has the real definition of Web 3.0, and of course, neither do I, but I do have an opinion about it...
The Wikipedia says something like this:
Web3 (also known as Web 3.0) is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics.

It sounds so simple, but these concepts require a lot of other human characteristics that we have "lost in the process"... Decentralization sounds nice and many would like to see more of it (on paper), but when it comes to realization, we would like that someone else takes care about those "tricky" things... Why is that? Why do we always try to go back to the centralized solutions?
Responsibility. When you have a cryptocurrency wallet, you get your private keys which are the only way of using your wallet... You are responsible for keeping those keys in a safe place, nobody knows them except you... You are the person responsible for that! On HIVE, we can go one step further, as you are the only person who controls your keys, and you are the only person who can create content with your account... You are responsible for your content, you stay behind your words!
- With banks, you don't need to think about that... just leave your money to them... they will care about it.
Accountability. Every act that you do on the blockchain is written and can't be deleted... You can't say that you didn't do something if you did, it is encoded in the blockchain... Which makes you accountable for your actions!
- Before, nobody cared about you and your acts... you are lost in the jungle of average people.
Authenticity. You can fake your account, you can be something else on the blockchain, but your authenticity will be checked by your blockchain trace... This is very specific for HIVE, as people who aren't authentic fail to succeed here... Sooner or later, your mask will fall...
- The Internet is a jungle and with Web 2.0 you can create as many as you want fake accounts and be whatever you want.
The question is... Are we ready to "accept" these things and act accordingly? Unfortunately, I don't think so... The Web 3.0 idea and the mindset are just a couple of years old, while completely opposite "values" have been promoted for decades and centuries... We are taught that we have to have a King or a leader that we choose to lead us, we are thought to be followers, and recently, we are taught that we have no idea about anything... The experts know everything better... It is impossible that we can accept Web 3.0 in such a short time and live by the "mindset" behind it...
But, it's not everything so dark and doomed... What we can do is to focus on the goal and try to do small steps toward the goal... There will be many dark clouds that will try to deviate us from the main road, but we have to keep the idea very clear and remind ourselves about it... If not, we will be caught in the same net as we were a lot of times, and lose our freedoms even more... Stay vigilant!
Let's go back to the #MyHiveGoals part as to have power in a decentralized world, you have to take your power back first! As usual, in the beginning, let's check out HiveStats...

Even though I'm not quite satisfied with my performance this week, I have created 5 posts which is a fair number for me... If I push more than that, I suppose that I wouldn't have time to do other things, like research, exchange valuable information with others, and work on my other projects...
In the last 7 days, I have accumulated 275 HivePower, which is less than the week before, but still in the "weekly margins" that I put to myself...
"Only" 1080HP more to get to the yearly goal! And HivePUD is coming!!!
Now, it's time to check my LEO Power goal which hurts to see... 🙂 I mean, the numbers go up, which is important, but they are not going up as I expected... I did accumulate and staked 111 LEO tokens during the last week and that's a nice result, but it's not enough to catch up with my weekly, monthly, and yearly goals...
I will not faint in spirit because of that, as what is important is the progress... and it's happening...
GAMING GOALS - Flexible Goals
I got 1 card more than usual in my Rising Star game goal!!! 😃 Instead of getting the standard 175 cards during the last 7 days, I have accumulated 1 more... 😃 The reason is the Halloween special mission where we can get the special instrument(s) cards... With the latest changes for Rankings calculations, the most important is to have as many as possible different NFTs in the game... So, I have bought one of these instruments, and I will probably buy the second one too during the next week...
As the STARBITS token is at an all-time low, I don't plan to sell them at all and I reinvest all back into the game... In the end, this is just a game and I'm not "obsessed" by the earning aspect of it... Less 1400 cards to my yearly goal!
We have news regarding the GLX tokens! The airdrop for the SPS stakers has finished and the "inflation" of the token has slowed down... This produced a small price bump after a long, long way down... The staking rewards will finish in 12 days and that could be another crucial moment in the "search for the bottom price"... But, all that is irrelevant if the game doesn't evolve and develop further... Fingers crossed!
During the last 7 days, I have accumulated 1900 GLX tokens in total, which is less than before, mostly because of the ending of the SPS airdrop...
It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on October 29th, 2023 are:
These are my initial goals for 2023 created on January 15th, 2023:
Join me in this awesome #MyHiveGoals and let's grow together! It is fun, motivating, and will keep you focused!
