But I dont hate Web3 or Blockchain the tech itself. In fact I sort of wish someone could explain it in a simple, easy to understand and practical manner. And conference are perfect for these sort of things because I expect those slides to be well prepared. Instead the whole community just treat Web3 as scam. Didn't even give them one chance. And it is just one track out of many. Why cancel it?

2. There's a massive gap between how "web3" is advertised as an ideology/manifesto (decentralize, democratize, and other nice things), and what it actually turns out to be: NFT grifters, automated piracy, cults of superstonker discords with monkey avatars, a bunch of VC-backed moat-building services for unregulated amateur stock market.
3. It's a disaster for energy use and GPU availability. ETH switching to PoS is as imminent as Tesla having FSD. Meanwhile it's a fertilizer for ransomware, endless pump and dump scams, DAOs of rugpulls, and a great tool for bypassing anti-terrorism and anti-war sanctions.
I see 1. marketing phrases without substance 2. unnecessary bloat (goal could be reached with existing boring tech) 3. scam
As said, this is just my personal bubble and confirmation bias at work. But I have yet to see a use case for these buzzwords that is valid, efficient, can't be done with existing tech or isn't blown out of proportion by marketing speak. I feel massively reminded of the worst things of the bubble in the late 90ies.
YMMW.
From what I've read, you get paid filecoin for reliability storing and serving files on the network (Dropbox but decentralised)
