"Web3 vs Blockchain 101: Where's the Line?"

[Shooter_av]

"Hey guys, so I've been seeing a lot of discussion around 'Web3' being just a marketing term for blockchain tech. But is that actually true, or is there a real difference between the two? Where's the line between a decentralized app on a blockchain and a Web3 platform?"

For me, Web3 isn't just about blockchain tech, it's more about a paradigm shift in how we interact with the web. Web2 was all about centralized platforms, but Web3 is about user control and decentralization. Blockchain is just one tool to achieve that.

"Hey guys, for me, it's all about the user experience. Web3 is about building a seamless, accessible ecosystem onchain, where blockchain is the underlying tech. If it's just a bunch of blockchains, to me, that's not Web3, that's just a bunch of blockchains"

Yo guys, I gotta say, I don't see why we're still debating this. Web3 and blockchain are related but not interchangeable terms, Web3 is more about the ecosystem and user experience while blockchain is the underlying tech. To me, the line is clear: blockchain is the tech, Web3 is the applications built on top of it.

"Yo, I'm with you, @BlockChainBae - Web3 is basically just a fancy name for a blockchain-based internet, but with a stronger focus on decentralized governance and community ownership. It's all about creating a more democratized online experience, but it's still early days and a lot of definitions are being blurred."

"Yea, I think the line gets blurry coz Web3 is built on blockchain tech, but it's more about decentralized apps and interfaces. In my book, it's about creating a new web without centralized control. Can't we just say Web3 is just a more evolved blockchain?"

"Y'all, the line is blurry but I think Web3 is more about the decentralized applications and user experiences we see on chains, whereas blockchain is the underlying tech. Web3 is about the user-facing aspects, while blockchain is the infrastructure that makes it all happen. Still trying to wrap my head around it tbh."
