Lin Jiujiu, do you have any ideas about web3.0 in 2023? This is one of the most frequently asked questions by the community recently.
It is understandable that people working in the blockchain industry are so excited about web3.0, because blockchain itself is a storytelling industry, and the story of Web3.0 is new and big enough that it can be told for many years.
But there should be at least a basic understanding: blockchain needs web3.0, not web3.0 needs blockchain! Web3.0 is the future, and blockchain or cryptocurrency is only a part of this future.
Web3.0 is the future of the Internet, featuring four major technologies:
1. Internet of Everything
2. Everything is user-centric, creating economic value for users and providing users with a better platform.
3. Use artificial intelligence technology.
4. Provide new language understanding capabilities. Web 3.0 browsers will try to understand web content like humans.
... and so on! There are many more that we can easily list out. If web1.0 is the beginning of everything, 2.0 is the innovation of user experience, then 3.0 is the beginning of the future Internet, which will completely reshape the current Internet situation.
For most people in the world, will they think about what the world is like, like those in the web3.0 circle? Most people will not think about who has taken away the greatest vested interests generated by the value of information. Comfort, stability, controllability and predictability are the most important for decision-making institutions.
If we divide the population, we will classify the developers, investors, and practitioners related to blockchain, web3.0, and the metaverse as a whole. Assume that this group accounts for 0.1%, and the others are classified as another group, accounting for 99.9%. Here we try to think in a different way. We are the coordinators of these two groups. As coordinators, we naturally hope that "every day is good life". It would be best if everyone can create value without generating unstable factors. But blockchain has always been the most malicious way to speculate on others, and human nature is greedy. There are great financial risks here. A group of people are trying to innovate a new information revolution. Tokens can be understood as stocks and decision-making rights. But we cannot guarantee that every project is really doing something. There are many scammers who are beginning to "get leeks" through packaging, operation, and pyramid schemes. Many families have begun to cause various social problems and become anti-social because of financial problems. This is the unstable factor in society. Although this group of people accounts for a small proportion, due to the development of the Internet, information can cause negative effects for a long time. When I can't control everyone's humanity, power may not be a very good means and method. This becomes the current problem of local optimal solution and global optimal solution.
Things are developing, and the same is true for web3.0 and the macro-development environment of society. The key question is whether the current global optimal solution is really the optimal solution in the future. Whether the current local optimal solution is the global optimal solution in the future, the parameter of time is crucial.
Taking time into account, the problem becomes complicated and the predictability of the entire system model decreases. There are too many variables that are invisible and unpredictable. It may be more appropriate to describe it as "cognition". Cognition largely determines the direction of things. In web3.0, cognition is extremely important. The improvement of cognition means from what angle you can calculate and deduce the direction of things and the changes that will be brought about in the future, and how you can profit from it. The improvement of cognition means that the more variables you can control, the more things you can eliminate that seem uncontrollable, and the more information you have, which can help you make more correct decisions.
From a cognitive perspective, this system will become simpler. Interestingly, I have always believed that the "anarchism" after World War II was unrealistic, and of course it is still unrealistic now. "Anarchism" and blockchain seem to have a natural fit. As an "elite" class, anarchy brings about freedom and can expand its territory at will. But who will protect those vulnerable people? Can blockchain technology protect vulnerable groups? Should they be eliminated by the survival of the fittest?
Back to web3.0 again, as a relevant practitioner, I still firmly believe that web3.0 is a very good direction. If you have good resources and a good level of cognition, this is a very good track. Of course, this must be developed in a globally controllable state.
