Only to those that hold the tokens. Web1 and Web2 seem to be more inclusive.

> Nothing. Anyone and everyone on planet Earth can use it. This is not true of traditional banking and other web2 services.

How is web2 more inaccessible than web3? Also banking is accessible to more people than the internet. The vast majority of unbanked aren't unbanked because they don't have access to banks but because they are so poor that they have no need for banks. How will crypto/web3 help those people?

Fuck no!

The transaction logs, events and spends are all public. It is very transparent.

I wasn't saying that it wasn't. I was saying that I don't want all of my internet activity to be publicly available.

Only to those who hold internet-capable computing devices. Newspapers seem to be more inclusive.

Wow, that sounds like a stupid comparison doesn't it.

And web1 and web2 are somehow not accessible to those people? How?

How would someone without an internet-capable computing device access web1 or web2?
