Fair enough. I’ve been using Linux on the desktop since 1997, FYI.

As long as you have reasonable expectations web3 exists as a choice that makes sense to me and, at the rate things are going, Web3 as a choice looks to me a lot like Linux on the desktop.

Problem is there is going to be a lot of heartbreak if web3 tops out at 2.5% market share in 30+ years like Linux on the desktop has. That said 2.5% is a lot better than the <1% anything blockchain related sees today (after 13 years).

Heartbreak by whom? Bitcoin maxis? Superstonks losers who all parrot things about the inevitable dominance from "their" pet project? ICO/NFT "investors"?

There is no shortage of people like me who are working on web3 and keep warning (or trying to warn) the general public that web3 is not about getting rich. If people don't want to listen, it's on them.
