Despite the intriguing ideas surrounding Web3, the lack of specific problems it addresses has left many unconvinced about its potential.

It appears to be a creative solution searching for a problem, rather than a solution tailored to meet a specific need.

Although Web3 enthusiasts envision blockchain-supported systems resolving identities and ensuring privacy in various contexts, skeptics argue that these concepts remain largely theoretical.

They have yet to discover real-world scenarios where Web3 is indispensable and guarantees significant benefits over existing solutions.

When reflecting on the emergence of the internet, it becomes evident that doubt and uncertainty surrounded its early days.

People questioned whether the internet would become a substantial phenomenon or merely fade into obscurity. However, time proved that the internet transformed the world in unimaginable ways.

Similarly, Web3 is seen by some as an inevitable development, irrespective of their current participation or understanding.

The future holds the promise that Web3 will evolve into something substantial, even if it ultimately takes a different name or form.
