There are real things happening in web 3.0, they are just being obscured by layers and layers of bullshit, scams and other fuckery. Once all that has crashed and everyone has lost all their money there will still be real and interesting tech remaining.

Be very sceptical, but don't ignore the whole thing or you might end up missing the next real wave of innovation in tech (which is what i thought HN was about).

I think if you want to dispel the skepticism describing those real things would go a long way.

I've yet to see those "real things" described and would be interested to see it summed up so I can.

I'm working on a decentralized storage solution for personal data. To be fair, it's not actually being used anywhere meaningful but I think it has real value (data ownership / privacy, encryption, protection from client code) and we have a proof-of-concept website that you could test it out on.

Identity that solves Zooko's Triangle, Censorship Resistant Storage, P2P/Decentralization (separate from blockchain), alternative funding models for all kinds of SaaS and Open Source projects.

Look it up yourself, or don't.
