Why does saying "I work in crypto" feels so cringey and awkward?
Feels like the "crypto" word itself is too loaded, meaning scams, get rich quick, and 'crypto bro' culture.
I think we've had it great with the Web3 storytelling. It was the strongest narrative we've had:
Web1: "Read-Only" -> Web2: "Read-Write" -> Web3: "Read-Write-Own"
Yet 'Web3' isn't trendy anymore. I don't use it myself much.
It's like after the Metaverse, GameFi, and NFT bubbles we stopped pushing the 'Web3' story, because.... it got cringey as well?
But I think Web3 is the single best narrative that unifies what crypto has to offer.
Even more now than in 2020-22 bull cycle due to AI.
The value of censorship resistance, user ownership, and privacy is important to many.
Yet, most people view crypto not as a solution, but as a step toward a dystopian future.
We're terrible at selling crypto... I mean the Web3 vision to the masses.
Maybe I should push the Web3 term once again. 9 replies
