Not really. There is development and hype cycles. You just seen a hype cycle.

​

The same is happening in AI. Like ChatGPT coming out created a hype cycle, but because there really is nothing new to show after a bit other than neat things it can do. The hype will die and it goes back in development cycle as all the other companies and so on develop their own AI.

​

As someone who tries to stay in the mix with Web3 and this stuff I can tell you there is a TON of work being done. One thing that is being done is there is talks with social media places to link up with decentralized systems to better identify a given person. Moreso, unstoppable domains (a web3 domain place) is talking to a number of places with using your web3 domain to log into given sites like Twitter and so on. So when you talk to someone, you know exactly the person you talking to is legit or the same person with the same username in other places.

I actually did some more searching and found something called DeNS (decentralized name service). I can say that you're right. But why does it feel like the technology is DOA? Why isn't it seeing mass adoption? Why is the community more concerned about money than the greater good of the internet?

It's because you didn't live or know what happen in the early early days of the internet.

A good few months back a lawyer on the hill. He stated that when he was getting started the prosecution office he was with would not use email. Simply because they didn't trust it and didn't think it was going to go anywhere.

Keep in 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. The technology and stuff is so new that we're talking about, if I had to compare it it would be compared to the early 80s. We already have some web hosting in the web free space. Look up ipfs. But it's very crude.

More than less you're more likely familiar with mid to late stage technology. And this is an early early stage. Basically the technology to build the technology which builds what you want is just starting to be made.

>Why is the community more concerned about money than the greater good of the internet?

It has always been like this. Even with normal internet. Look at those who bought a ton of domains before the dot com boom. And look at how things are now.

The average person also will not care about the technology. And to be blunt to the average person will not persuade the technology one way or the other. The average person is more than less about making as much money as possible. This has more to deal with social and economic problems then anything else in my opinion. Like they can't afford to learn about the technology and they don't have the mindset to learn because they are trying to survive.
