@JapanAnon @DarkMahesvara Most Japanese unfortunately see crypto as a stock rather than alternative money.
Beside that, crypto in general is pretty different from fiat, each token has its own usecase (including none), like Monero as money, Dero as smart contract platform, Equilibria as oracle, Bitcoin as store of value, and so on.

By introducing so many different tokens like Skeb for artists, Storj for storage, LBRY Credit for a video site, and so on, unless you've been longer into crypto than 1 year (like you and I), this will most likely bewilder all the normies who previously used just Yen for literally everything, and that alone can make them go like "why the fuck do I have to care about 1000s of different tokens for 10000s of different things if I can just use the Digital Yen/CBDC for everything?".

Not saying that we need to just choose one, but rather most people will need lots of learning in order to truly adapt to the cryptocurrency lifestyle.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @Moon @enigmatico Interesting blog even though there isn't much there. I like their article on combing federation with P2P.

@coolboymew The west nowadays really seems to be conditioned into believing that if you don't pick a side, you by default don't stand with Ukraine, and therefore by default you stand with Russia.
Speaking of dumbing down an entire culture...

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @Moon @enigmatico I don't know. I can't find any sites (or Hyperdrives as they call it). I imagine it's more optimized for smaller websites like blogs and forums. There seems to be an experimental social network on there but it looks like it uses one profile per hyperdrive.

@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @Moon @enigmatico I don't know about IPFS, but I heard that Hypercore being based on a VCS means that it's possible to create dynamic websites with it.

It seems like a better way to handle dynamic content compared to what ZeroNet did.

@Moon @enigmatico I think the Dat protocol would be a better fit. It's a P2P filesharing protocol with a built-in version control system.

@enigmatico Not all of them. The ones made by corporations, yes, but actual private ones like Monero are useful for trading outside the white market.

@enigmatico People still call computer cameras "webcams" even though most uses for them don't involve the web.

Also I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as web3.

Or web2.

People likes to call things with weird names and stuff for marketing but the web 2.0 from 15 years ago was the normal web. We just made a bunch of "blogs" and forums and social sites and for whatever reason people called it web 2.0.

NFT and cryptomoney is NOT part of the "web" (which is just a cooler name for the HTTP protocol). Therefore calling it "web3" is wrong even for marketing. Why is it not part of the web? Because people is NOT SUPPOSED TO BROWSE JSON DATA. Its that simple. And the web was NOT meant for this crap.

@enigmatico I use LibreWolf which is basically the Firefox equivalent of Ungoogled Chromium.

I'm kinda tired about the modern web tbh. 20 years ago anyone could make their own browser relatively easily. I mean, 20 years ago things like JavaScript and CSS were already a thing, but were more primitive and not so many sites used them yet, as websites were mostly built in Macromedia Flash (yes, it was Macromedia back then) and sites that used HTML were still pretty primitive.

Nowadays nobody thinks about building their own web engine because by the time they are done with at least the bare bones of it, there are 20 new bloated specifications.

So what everyone is doing is to stamp Chromium into a frontend and bloat it with ads and sponsorships and web3 crap to monetize it. Like Brave. And many others.
