I read a blog post on how to make a web3 blog and it sounds like absolute hell. - The data is stored on the blockchain, so you can't edit any of your content - The business logic is stored on the blockchain as smart contracts, so you can't edit it either

Web3 truthers seem to have less insight into decentralization than the final season of Silicon Valley. The hard part of open collaboration is not a shared database. That's easy. The hard parts are identity, privacy, data schemas, and changes to each. continuations.com/post/671863718…

Been a tiny part of a Twitter battle involving famed Silicon Valley journalist Kara Swisher. I served in the SEC Enforcement Division for 18+ years, the last 11 as Chief of the Office of Internet Enforcement and have taught cyber at Georgetown and Duke Law Schools for 20 years.🧵
