Big web3 assumption going around I'm not seeing questioned: users care to be owners.

Contrarian: Most users are consumers of <content/product/value> and ownership POTENTIAL in <> won't change their behaviour to web3 from web2 simply because of ownership.

Reinventing illiquid assets.

Starting with venture @ www.withgrove.com 

classifying which types of users on the tech adoption curve might be useful here too.

I wonder if ownership will be more popular among kids growing up now and the generations coming up.

It’s way too soon to say.

What do you own in your backpack? How much of it is because of profit seeking?

The mental model emerging around ownership will be fascinating to study.

I really like what you said: “web3 is enabling IRL, eventually.”

We have generations of IRL behaviour; web3 isn’t changing it but enabling it. 

Owning matters to profit seekers. People aren’t profit seeking outside of their job or tangential opportunities. 

I do foresee a new class of “consumer+” user emerging, sandwiched between creator and consumer.
