1. What stage has Web3 evolved to? Looking back at the history of Web development may bring inspiration to the development of Web3. If we count from the birth of ARPANET in 1969, as of 2021, the Internet has gone through 52 years of life. It can be said that the 52 years of the Internet are a magnificent global epic and a half-century of light-speed development of human civilization and productivity. The development of the Internet has gone through such key stages. In the 1960s, the US military launched ARPANET, which laid the technical foundation of the Internet and was the beginning of the development of the Internet; in the 1970s, the birth of TCP/IP made computers no longer independent individuals, and the basic protocol gave the Internet its initial prototype; in the 1980s, applications such as e-mail, BBS and USEnet emerged like mushrooms after rain, promoting the popularization and development of Internet applications. This is the prehistoric era of the Internet. In the 1990s, the birth of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the wave of commercialization brought the Internet to thousands of households. Applications such as browsers, portals and e-commerce were the most distinctive features of this era, which is also the Web1 stage we are familiar with; in the first decade of the 21st century, blogs, social media and netizens became the main producers of content; in the second decade of the 21st century, the rise of 4G networks and mobile devices brought us into the mobile Internet era. This is the Web2 stage of the Internet. So, can the development of the Internet bring inspiration to the development of Web3? Or where does Web3 currently stand in the history of Internet development? There may be many dimensions to measure this issue, such as the number of venture capital, entrepreneurial teams, infrastructure development, etc., but the number of users will inevitably be the most critical part of the measurement criteria. In 1997, according to World Bank statistics, the number of Internet users worldwide reached 300 million, and in 2022, the number of global crypto asset holders will be exactly 300 million! Therefore, if the number of coin holders is equated with the number of Internet users, Web3's 2022 is the Internet's 1997. From 1995 to 2000, the Silicon Valley technology circle (representing the development of the global Internet) was full of ups and downs. In five years, Netscape Navigator was launched in August 1995, Yahoo was launched in April 1996, and Amazon was launched in May 1997... In 1995, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page met, and in 1996 a basic version of the search engine called Backrub was launched. In 1997, Backrub was named Google, and Google was not listed until 7 years later in 2004. If the two founders had not wisely introduced Eric Schmidt as CEO of Google in 2001 and were not convinced by the latter that the best way for search engines to make money was to attract businesses to place advertisements and make strategic adjustments, the world might have lost a good browser and an open and inclusive video media streaming website. However, the number of active users on the chain may be a better reference. According to tracking data from on-chain data tool Nansen in late February, the nine major mainstream networks in the encryption world (Ethereum/Polygon/Arbitrum, etc.) had a total active address of approximately 9.163 million on the 7th. This number matches the number of global Internet users counted by the World Bank in 1991. At that time, the number of Internet users accounted for 0.1%-0.2% of the total global population (5.4 billion). With the birth of the World Wide Web and the wave of commercialization, Applications such as browsers, portals and e-commerce are the most distinctive features of this era. They have brought the Internet to thousands of households. Jim Clark and Mark Andreessen’s Netscape, Sergey Brin and Larry Page’s Google, Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook, Jack Ma’s Alibaba, Jerry Yang’s Yahoo, Ma Huateng’s Tencent and Steve Jobs’ Apple were both born in this era#JUP #link #pyth $BTC $ETH
