    for those still confused: web4 is jack dorsey's imaginary implementation of lightning network in twitter and other web 2.0 apps. web5 is jack dorsey's imaginary impmentation of ethereum in bitcoin.

    The web2 v web3 v web5 skirmishes are a distraction. Build from first principles and not through analogy... crypto unlocks possibilities that our 2022 minds cannot fully fathom. Embrace that uncertainty and potential toward a better future!

    TBD have announced plans to build a new decentralized web centered around Bitcoin. While Web3 aims to “blockchain” and “tokenise” all things, Web5 uses just one blockchain - #Bitcoin - for one specific use case: identity. Take a read below & let us know your thoughts👇 https://twi…
