🔊 What if escaping the matrix isn't a metaphor? David Irvine lays out a blueprint for life beyond centralized control — using real tech, not utopian dreams. Watch this & consider: Is this the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for — or a future we're not ready to face? 👇 🎥

When it comes to sovereignty, it’s time to look at what comes after Web3. It’s been a mighty stepping stone, but we’re still not there. Let’s take data sovereignty for one. I mean, IPFS is cool, but all that data -- the actual data -- is in someone else’s hands. Want to

Let's take this as an example. Image and file sharing all in a neat decentralized app… but where is the data? IPFS is great, but it doesn't store anything, so the promise of independence and sovereignty will soon bump into a centralized server. The illusion crumbles. So

RandyUnhacked And this isn't a knock on IPFS! It's cool tech! It's just widely misunderstood what it really is, and rather too much stock is put in its decentralizing chops. But if we could have: - Content addressing of data (like IPFS) - The data encrypt itself - Deduplicate all the things

What if your digital life just… Vanished? Is Web3 really gonna save you? And what the hell has Jeff got to do with it?

🧵 You know that Tim Berners-Lee invented the web and you know that Vint Cerf co-created internet protocols. But there's a Scottish engineer who's been quietly building a radical future and new internet for two decades. Let me tell you about David Irvine.

Autonomi Damir Vodenicarevic 🦾 Thanks for the suggestion—following you. We'll definitely look into adding Autonomi storage as an option in the future. Great fit for ADAMANT. 🤝

Elon Musk Encrypted messaging is a start. But we need more than features — we need foundations. Where your data lives. Who controls the keys. How permanence, privacy, and autonomy are built in — not added on. We’re building that future. Quietly. 📷 autonomi.com #BeyondWeb3

10 years ago on the legendary ‘Let’s Talk Bitcoin’ Pod, David Irvine called out the broken state of the internet, and laid out the fix. Turns out he was right about everything.

7 years later and still very much the case. Wild. But the options are there if you are a builder who wants to de-Jeff the web for good 😉
