To me, web3 isn't about building everything on some blockchain.

Firstly, it's about building networks and systems that serve us instead of what we have today: big, monolithic networks that profit off our rage and addiction.

Secondly, it's about building a model of democracy that is fundamentally more scalable than what we have today: people with differing opinions and values being forced into a single echo chamber and fighting in a zero-sum game to take control of the chamber.

Decentralization won't solve all our problems, but I believe it's a more natural and scalable way to organize on the web.
