This is a collection of rambles, content may vary; this is a place for my mind to run free on a web3 platform
My journey so far of going deeper in the web3 space, which has been over a year now, has taken me through some of the emotions and narratives one might be exposed when trying this ride out.
As I think about this journey and the continual narrative of web3, there are three themes I’m seeing play out and those are: 1: The hype is real, 2: Trends die quickly 3: there is a long haul.
Whether you like it or not, the colossal amount of hype that keeps bursting out of the fringes of web3 are having some resounding effects. To be honest, there’s too much of it and it’s out of control to where it’s dangerous but the impacts are significantly impacting those involved.
Web3 projects that come out of no where on the internet, instantly gain a lot of hype from communities and those playing the web3 game; and for those who have managed the momentum well, are create currents for themselves that haven’t been set in the ocean before.
There is healthy amount of skepticism for this hype, but regardless web3 projects are making significant moves very fast due to the hype of everything being new/semi-trendy.
Due to the overwhelming speed of change in the web3 space, trends that would maybe last a month or three are lasting maybe a couple weeks.
I’ve noticed that this can be exhausting when you’re wanting to engage with projects but are worried that the life of it all will be very short. I’m not sure there is a way at the moment around this due to the exploration phase everyone is in; but I do know that it’s worth dipping your toes into for the long run.
In the chaos of the web3 hurricane happening across the internet, I believe we can say that it’s here to stay. A lot of projects and experiences are going to fail in the trailblazing of this space, but I don’t see everything disappearing.
The experiences and initiatives that are being set now are going to influence the next phases of web3 and the communities/projects to be invested in; resulting in an ever growing multi-verse of products and services that are going to become more and more common use as the space evolves alongside our participation in it.
