🌐 Web3: The Internet That Belongs to Everyone

The internet has changed dramatically over the last few decades. We started with static websites where people simply read information. Then came social media, cloud services, and interactive applications that allowed anyone to create content, but at the cost of giving control to large corporations. Today, a new chapter is unfolding: Web3. Instead of trusting centralized platforms, Web3 gives users ownership of their identity, assets, and data through decentralized technologies like blockchains and open protocols. This article explores how the internet evolved from Web1 to Web2 and finally to Web3, what makes each generation different, and why decentralized social networks like Nostr are becoming one of the most exciting examples of Web3 in action.

The future, for me, is decentralized.
