I don't think I ever outlined my master plan for the internet. At a high-level:

- internet-wide 3D MMO (don't say metaverse)
- P2P payments (hello crypto)
- UGC (user-generated content...avatars, realms, worlds, hubs, whatever)

Attempting this within the confines of Web2 is laughable. We have options now.

Conquest is weird to think about in regards to the internet. It's like the Universe, forever expanding...so there's room for you and competitors. Trying to get "the next billion people to" whatever is a waste of time.

Make something good for a core group and expand naturally. VCs hate this rhetoric, it's too slow.

E2EE encrypted IPv6 routing (Yggdrasil). Ultra-secure root zone for websites and services (Handshake). A 3D markup language (did you know you can just create new HTML5 tags?).

So many pieces are in place and are in the process of being built. This is why I'm so focused on my Handshake infrastructure. Bottom up dev!

I'll create a long-form essay about all this at some point, just felt like sharing where I see the internet going.

This doesn't mean Web2 is disappearing or that the existence of a 3D 'Net means the 2D 'Net is dead. That's ridiculous. We still have pay phones, after all.

I don't care to gain critical mass or to be a Product Hunt darling. Before I depart this realm, I just want my name to be spoken in the same breath as Sir Tim-Berners Lee and Vint Cerf.

I want Ready Player One but MUCH less depressing. Society shouldn't turn to shit for the internet to be dope as fuck.

Commerce is necessary for any ecosystem to thrive and a good barometer of how healthy said ecosystem is. If you look at SecondLife today, creators are STILL making money. Idk their AU numbers but they've gotta be pretty healthy.

A mistake I see most companies making is trying to be THE ANSWER to everything. Why?
