After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots

[Zardbeig]

If I'm not mistaken, Crypton exchange was launched about 2 years ago exactly. It's not very old. And you're wrong that nothing for privacy is launched now. How about the numerous web3 applications that are so popular now?

[Marryan]

You're right about that. Indeed, the whole of VEB3 is designed to be decentralized. But there is still a question of feasibility. So far, these are all just very pretty words, and it is not clear whether it will all materialize in reality.

[Zardbeig]

You're right. These days you have to check several times if the app is trustworthy before putting you money there. Scam is closer than ever now, while everyone became "great programmers".

[Marryan]

WEB3 has now become a very popular direction, and they have been talking about it for a long time. Many projects are developing exactly in the WEB3 plane. Let's see if it will lead us to a truly decentralized Internet.

[Zardbeig]

Truly decentralized internet will never happen as there are no govt in the whole world who will accept it easily. In each and every country Big Brother is watching us, no matter more or less. All the big corporations are collecting our data on every step we make in the internet. So I think that's impossible to remain safe there.

[Marryan]

I think so too and I think WEB3 is very cool but still the government will still have a way to control people. Unfortunately, the way the world works, there will always be those who want to establish a new order, and the current government will not like it.

[Zardbeig]

I just hope that we won't come to the closed internet like in China or how Russia plans to make. As it automatically leads to the total censorship. But in this case maybe the apps like Utopia will help us to get the real news. I've seen many news channels there about all the real stuff happening around the world.

[Marryan]

If you look at how much more censorship has become on the internet in the last 7 years, it's just awful. I remember in 2016 the internet was much freer and you could express your thoughts and visit any website. Nowadays, VPNs are my best friend. So you need to stock up on anonymity apps.

[Zardbeig]

On the whole, I turn depressed remembering how good things were several years ago. Now almost every day brings only bad news. Nothing positive happens, everything gets only worse. So that's logical that in nowadays situation everything gets censored. And we can't affect it anyhow.

[Marryan]

All this happens because people themselves choose the easier path over the more difficult one. The simplest example is the use of bitcoin. We now have the ability to pay each other using bitcoin, but many people are too lazy to understand the technology and just continue to ignore the privacy opportunities.

[Zardbeig]

I don't really agree that Bitcoin is for users' privacy. Privacy coins - yes, but even not all of them. Better choose some decentralized project and it will give you more privacy than Bitcoin. The only sadness - there are no strong privacy coins

[Marryan]

Bitcoin will definitely not provide you with privacy! Only those who do not understand how bitcoin works believe in bitcoin anonymity. Therefore, it is better to use coins from projects such as Utopia, where the blockchain provides complete privacy.
