“The Internet Is Changing Again. Are You Ready?”
Hey there Hashers!
When you first heard the word “Web3,” you probably thought what I did: This sounds confusing. Maybe even unnecessary.
But after several years of watching, studying, and working in this space — I can tell you with confidence: Web3 is not a trend. It’s a shift. One that will impact your money, your identity, your social circles, your entertainment, and how you interact with the world around you.
And here’s the catch: it’s already happening.
So over the next five weeks, we’re going to take a clear, jargon-free tour through the most important ways Web3 will touch your life — whether you're ready or not. We have already covered the basics of many of these topics, but now I want to focus in on practicality and preparedness.
Each issue will walk through a specific building block of this new digital world, explain what it means in plain English, and give you practical steps to get familiar without falling down a crypto rabbit hole.
This isn’t about hype. This is about awareness. About helping you understand what’s changing and why it matters — so you can make smarter choices, ask better questions, and maybe even get ahead of the curve.
Here’s what we’ll cover:

Feature Story
Web3 Is Coming For You — And That’s Not a Bad Thing
It’s easy to dismiss Web3 as just another internet buzzword — something for Silicon Valley, crypto bros, or overhyped startups. You may see the fancy 3D graphics with slightly dystopian themes or the terminology which can range from words you might see in a computer science dissertation to cult terms like “rug pull” or “hodler”. But here’s the truth, and I have come to really believe this: Web3 is not a trend. It’s infrastructure. And like it or not, it’s coming for everyone.
