The Internet was Web 2 Reached Adoption in the 2000’s

Bitcoin / Crypto is Web 3 Reaching Adoption in the 2020’s

AI is Web 4 Basically Born and Adopted in the 2020’s Essentially lapping Web 3 in Adoption, replacing it at the front of the line. Moore’s Law style exponential growth / adoption.

Basically, even though Crypto is this groundbreaking tech, the rate of adoption from society is too slow for something like Crypto. AI comes along, Moore’s Law kicks in, and Crypto is basically forgotten (for now). Attention Spans are short, and the profitability and ease-of-use of AI has Dwarfed the Cryptocurrency fad in a fraction of the time.

I’m not saying I firmly believe this is the end of Web 3, nor am I claiming that Cryptocurrency is dead. I think it may have been a little overhyped, and overleveraged. We might be seeing a dramatic reset of liquidity and whatnot, which I think will be beneficial in the long run, flushing out the bad actors / liquidity extractors.

But at the end of the day, we didn’t stop using Web 2. We won’t stop using Web 3. But it might look different from what we imagined. Especially with the sudden growth and adoption of AI.

The easiest analogy for me is that AI basically cut in line, got early access to adoption. Crypto isn’t going anywhere, and in fact, may end up being incredibly useful for all these AI Agents, or whatever it is that ends up becoming “normal” in the future.

No matter what, I’m excited to see where everything ends up. As an investor, this is why I diversify. As a human, this is what has me psyched for the future!

I was ranting about this on stream and apparently had a Jimmy Neutron brain blast moment lol. Chat said this was genius so I figured I’d share my thoughts. Just an idea / theory, one of many. This one felt more prominent than others though. I think all are here to stay, how the pieces fall into place though is anyone’s guess really.
