    You also don't need to import a Roboto font from Google to display two letters --- and yet, here you are.

    I'm sure this thread will become a long well thought out discussion.

    There is even a png embedded for twitter in the source.

    The unbanked and the oppressed need Web3. After all, 5% of each transaction of ScamOfTheDayCoin will go to the orphans -- once we upgrade to the new liquidity pool. And do migrate soon or the 100% tax kicks in (your next transaction)!...

    well, at least, the answer given is encrypted in transit, so a potential MITM attacker won't know if I need web3 or not.

    hurray for https everywhere... or else it is [big red warning] insecure.

    We do need decentralization for some applications. Few but not zero of us need cryptocurrency.

    The problem is cryptocurrency taking over decentralization, and removing some of the advantages(Its usually not fully partition tolerant or suitable for an emergency when your area only has crappy inefficient mesh nets, phones, and 20w solar panels)

    Watch KiraTV[1]'s more recent videos to see just how much we "need" (not really) Web 3.

    First person to mint an NFT of this website wins a cookie.

    An army of scammers need it for their bread and butter.

    OK. Someone was very bored and upset and decided to pay for a domain specifically to determine if one needs web3 or not, which for them, they know that the answer is No.

    But they knowingly post it here anyway to try and waste your time and rack up low effort reactions. To each to their own.

    However, does that also mean it is all going to collapse and go away 100% guaranteed because you don't need it now?

    EDIT to OP (Hates_): Since you are the OP and also the creator of the site, just to ask this question: Why was your tweet deleted after you posted this here? [0] Care to explain?
