It’s an old story. Adam ate an apple and was cast out of paradise. In the digital age, billions have committed the same sin: they gave their information to platforms, exposed their lives, and in return, were promised or gave away, a false paradise. Web2, through the social era, saved people from loneliness but put their privacy on the bargaining table and most didn’t even realize what they were sacrificing. The Loss of Privacy: The Break Triggered by the ‘Share’ Button By the late 2000s, plat...

Deserts teach people patience. In the digital desert of Web1, people quietly read pages and closed them, drifting alone as they wandered from link to link. This solitude sparked a new question: What about us? What can we do together? The early 2000s marked a turning point, the beginning of the internet’s second spring.

Once upon a time, the internet revolution kicked off with Mosaic browsers and crashed spectacularly with the dot-com bubble. Humanity learned a costly lesson: every tech bubble eventually collides with reality. Twenty years later, the stage changed, the players changed but the script was eerily familiar. This time, it was blockchain, tokens and Web3 promising a brand new Ownership Revolution. And once again, millions believed they were building the future of the internet. The Promise of Owner...

Today, we stand on a massive digital stage where trillions of bits move every second and wallets, profiles and algorithms compete fiercely. Just thirty years ago, this entire scene was wrapped in complete silence. Looking back, the early years of Web1 feel like a barren desert. Pages were static, each site looked like a picture frozen in time. There was no interaction, users were just a reader. But even that was a big revolution.
