4/20 For example, there was commotion going on about NFT marketplaces that just launched. "NFTs should be in your own wallets, and not sold on a centralized mp", hence the boom at people using and connecting their wallets on #OpenSea
5/20 Not much later, OpenSea is guilty of #censoring NFTs by removing them from the interface on their #marketplace. This is anything but decentralized and a direct contradiction to what they "pretend" to be pursuing "Freedom and openness"
6/20 These #influencers pick up these kind of centralized news items, published by centralized pro web 2.0 websites. These publishers do understand what Web 3.0 is and how threatening it is for their current existence.
7/20 Because blockchain technology is so threatening towards the current controlled Web 2.0 world we are so used to, it is not crazy to think these institutions are deliberately spreading #fakenews or are steering towards the believable lie
8/20 Lies and truths can both be hurtful. But we sometimes forget that spreading half-truths can be far more dangerous and do a lot of damage. Nonetheless, they are being spread. And we need to be wary.
9/20 It isn't surprising to me to see influencers pop-up and jump on the hype train. They're after all copy/pasting web 2.0 information. And due to their "busy" lifestyle, it can be quite the challenge to #DYOR
10/20 Just look at what we are creating today #threads. Re-inventing microblogging and launching it on a full decentralized blockchain. Can we comprehend what this means? No centralized party that can #shadowban or #delete your account.
