Has web3 lost its usefulness as term for you personally? When you’re explaining what you work on to others, do you invoke web3?

I know some have ditched it (or never embraced it) but am curious to get more takes here.

I do it out of reflex but I don’t like it. Thinking of saying I work in decentralized communities. Wish there was something snappier.

What do you think of the term onchain? https://jacob.energy/onchain.html

I don’t have a gripe with either term, but if you’re making an argument about making crypto more accessible, I think it’s worth pointing out that my grandma reading the paper would at least have an intuition what “on-chain” means, but have no idea what “onchain” means.

My gripe is with the argument that “onchain” is making this space easier to understand or better. It feels like an insiders / cultish thing at this stage.

“On-chain” is the bridge that helps you get to “onchain” someday. Switch too early and it might never catch on.
