         | However 'web3' seems the opposite. Decentralization is touted
         | as a feature, because we cannot place our trust in other
         | people. NFT hype is all about 'claiming' ownership over
         | something. Where is the sharing and community?
         | 
         | For these reasons I do not think it is something interesting.

       | Yes we should. Very exciting time full of opportunities

       | If people ignore the buzzword scams, and focus on what is
       | possible to change with these new paradigms... I am already
       | getting FOMO
