Eric Siu argues that pitting Web2 against Web3 is a false choice that distracts from what matters. Instead of fighting over territory, focus on what actually advances the internet.
Web 2 versus Web 3 is a false dichotomy. Now, Web 1 is just the internet in the early days. Web 2 is Facebook and Google and Amazon when they took over. Web 3 is the future. It is when blockchain and crypto are coming into play. Now, here's the thing. Why is all this stuff going on right now where people are talking about Web 2 versus Web 3? That's too Web 2. You know, that's not what Web 3 culture is about. It's divisive. It's unhelpful. You don't see us right now talking about Web 1. We're not talking about HTTPS. We're not talking about TCP/IP. We're not talking about these protocols. Like, at the end of the day, all these things— Web 1, Web 2, Web 3, Web 4, Web5 is just a progression of the internet. And what we should all be doing instead is pushing the internet forward instead of trying to fight people, fight these turf wars, because they're unhelpful at the end of the day. So here's why.
