David Vorick, Skynet Lead Developer expressed:  One downside of crypto pfps: I can’t tell y’all apart anymore. Punks, covins, apes, penguins, froyos, now all a batch of hiveminds.

You aren’t going to fix what’s wrong with web2 unless you make applications independent of their infrastructure.

If web3 wasn’t a scam, what properties would it have? VCs and elites own web2 to an even greater degree than they own web3.

You misunderstand what web3 is. Web3 is not governance, and it’s not voting. Web3 is every person owning their own data, owning their own monetization, and owning their own participation in the ecosystem around them.

We can own web3 the same way that we can own Bitcoin – by knowing the protocol and selecting the fork that benefits us the most. Nobody is ever constrained to using a VC fork. The beauty of decentralization is the power of choice.

For anyone following the story of Peng Shuai, the underlying mission of Skynet, web3, and all of blockchain is to ensure that information – as much as possible – cannot be suppressed by governments. The the people control their money and social media, oppression has fewer levers.

Instead of “advertising”, we should call it ” corporate propaganda.”  This company runs half the internet.

Community response:  Petition for easy-to-use commission NFT pfp platform.

A blockchain project with no VC influence at all, no CEO and no central foundation. A system where all the data you could ever need is right there on chain, censorship-resistant and accessible by everyone on the internet regardless of their computing power. Don’t trust, verify.

actual peer-to-peer infra – no two-tier networks, no hidden admin keys 2) active effort to avoid a land rush, no preferential allocation of tokens to insiders 3) no way for devs to be coerced into making changes – see #1 4) no CEO to subpoena – see #3

You’ll want to check Verus #DeFi, no-premine, no-ICO, rent-free network. zk-SNARK privacy, 100% open, free public testnet w/multi-currency, multi-chain, MEV-resistant DeFi protocols, multi-currency liquidity baskets on all chains, x-chain sends, and functional Ethereum bridge.

Autonomous, immediate, encrypted and decentralized.

Web3 Founders live in a simulation and don’t yet realise that the governments can bring their coins to zero overnight the only projects that would survive the govt threat are those that are truly decentralised.

The equivalent to an early IPO, In the Scam World it’s where a “responsible” group is only allowed to buy stocks before the general public at a crazy low, risky price – Thanks to Federal Government. However, web3 allows all to participate.

Those building web3 have an option to make their projects be heavily weighted to (if not 100%) “for the people by the people.”
