Web3 Is Like a Cult Building Apps No One Uses

Web3 isn’t the future — it’s a sandbox for developers chasing decentralization dreams while the rest of the world scrolls past. The truth is, most Web3 apps are clunky, confusing, and wildly impractical for everyday users. We’ve hyped up wallets, DAOs, and NFTs like they’re revolutionary, but outside the crypto bubble, no one’s asking for any of it. Until Web3 stops building for itself and starts building for real people, it’s just noise dressed as innovation.

when Web3 tools actually focus on real-world problems and simplify access for everyday users, the potential is huge. That’s the version of Web3 worth rooting for.

There are new applications for web3, it is now officially used for cross border payments for established fintech platforms. For example visa and mastercard has incorporated crypto as part of its rails to move funds internationally and guess what, flutterwave is one of the users of those rails.

So in the nearest future the blockchain will not just be for blockchain native users, which it has for the longest time. And the nearest future is closer than you think. Most of the hindrances to mass local adoption for the blockchain has been lack of government policies to both regulate and accept the technology, but that is changing, governments around the world are now creating policies to incorporate the system into its local financial industries and coming up with policies to regulate it. so in essence there is more understanding of it in the within policy makers, whats left now is creating policies to safeguard the users.

As with every emerging technology, the market will decide the ones that will die out and the ones that will stay, its the normal process of things, happened during the dotcom boom, same with blockchain boom and happening currently with AI boom. Its normal, its an open market and this is the process of global public ideation.
