Common Web3 narratives go like this: Web1 was decentralised. Web2 is centralised and dominated by GAFAM/BigTechs. Web3 will be decentralised.
Is this real?
This talk reviews the history and web and discusses the potential unintended consequence of decentralised identity and the wallet model.
It is a condensed (hopefully more polished) version of my EIC 2023 Keynote stage talk / OIX Summit Keynote talk.
