I always thought that Web3 was the semantic web - where did that go, did I miss something?
I think the decentralised web is interesting, but it will only happy in my view either with someone with extremely deep pockets, or someone aligns some commercial interests (lets face it, peer to peer and decentralised technologies today came out of wanting to create un-regulated, hidden market places or the sharing of assets without the need to prove you had the rights to share those assets (and correspondingly, folks wanting them!)
Hey Ricardo -- I'd check out this talk from Juan Benet, specifically, the last 10 minutes where he discusses how the blockchain movement is built out of the Semantic Web movement: youtube.com/watch?v=l44z35vabvA&t=19s
Thanks. I watched this but not sure he truely represented what the semantic web as I understood it - I’m no expert but did get involved in projects in the late 2009. It’s also not dead at all and very much still going. It felt that this speaker was trying to shoe horn the distributed idea into this and I am not at all convinced by his arguments. Thanks for sharing though, interesting talk.
