Yes, did you? It strikes me as just a cash grab meant to boost the image of Bitcoin so that Dorsey and other uber rich people heavily invested in BTC can continue with more hyped up nonsense.
What exactly's wrong with web3? This guy's out here pitching web5 when web3 isn't even a thing yet. This is so plainly a cash grab, IMO.
The fact that he keeps pushing this "Web5 is gonna be powered by BITCOIN" narrative is just so cringe and he's clearly trying to build hype for a nonsense product that won't ever pan out the way he says it will.
There's a reason why all the crypto bro communities are absolutely loving Dorsey's new nonsense.
edit: Nvm just read your profile, I've zero interest in speaking to people who waste time trolling. Blocked.
edit 2: For anyone not a troll, think of it this way... This is like me saying "Forget 5G, I'm going to offer 7G cellular connectivity! And it'll be powered by this thing that I along with my friends just happen to be heavily invested in! What about 6G, you ask? Forget about the past, 7G is the future!"
I realize it's not a 1:1 comparison, but I think you get my point. This inexplicable leap to "web5" is just classic marketing bullshit and it worries me that people aren't more skeptical of the legitimacy of this.
It wouldn’t surprise me if you were proven right on that. Still, it’s a positive sign when a ‘mainstream voice’ can talks in terms of decentralised platforms. It’s a part of the overall evolution of the web. I guess we’ll wait and see if anything good comes of it.
It's a good sign, but I think he has to talk about it to stay relevant. Because of enthusiasts pushing an idea that's not immediately about money ^^
I think you're being deceived.
