Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

The haveno decentralized exchange looks interesting. I don't even know if that counts as Web 3.
https://haveno.exchange/
But even those crazy guys aren't expecting you to attach your wallet to a web browser.
I think there are some valid options for micropayment distributed systems around social networking, message passing, especially with lots of spam in the environment. Like I'm willing to pay a fraction of money to send a message and support the network I use.. like Lemmy
Like imagine if every post on Lemmy cost a fraction of the penny, and the money went to support the The hosting instance. That could be interesting.
But the vast majority of things that claim to be web3 distributed applications aren't. They're centralized, they just use crypto as a way to centralize the money.
