- What are the benefits of web 3.0 (decentralized internet)?
Web 2.0 is controlled by a select few companies which hold a monopoly and who decide what and who is allowed to exist on the internet.
Web 3.0 would be more censorship resistant, the power more spread out and the need for 3rd parties would decrease which would increase the economic efficiency.
Payments are natively built in to web 3.0 so no payment companies like Paypal or Visa are needed.
International trade would benefit since no cumbersome cross-border payment systems would be needed as the blockchain is global.
