Why HN links it
HN readers link Preethi Kasireddy's posts on Web3, blockchains and crypto concepts such as trustlessness, and the architecture of Ethereum and IPFS. One commenter values one post as a clear case for web3.

What Hacker News says?
I think the focus on data openness is overly simplistic. Blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Tezos are attracting a lot of brainpower and capital. This is occurring because of price action, for sure, but also because of their ability to allow actors to interact with each other in a way that minimizes the amount of trust required from any single actor in the system. They do this by distributing trust among differe…

HN discussionThe absolute best argument I’ve seen so far against “web3” is this very pro-web3 and very clear article. https://www.preethikasireddy.com/post/the-architecture-of-a-... Read that, and make sure you understand the basics of what Ethereum, IPFS and maybe a few more technologies from the article etc actually are, then think about if that sounds like sensible thing to do. If you can still take it seriously afterwards th…

HN discussionI don't think there's a good explanation out there. From what I've read, the main idea is decentralization, either of website databases using blockchain (which seems wildly impractical and ludicrously expensive), or of payment of advertising revenue to website users and contributors (which seems like an impossible business model) The main issue, I think, is that "decentralization" means a different thing to every pe…

HN discussionAs far as the OP is concerned, a wallet generated via a dice roll and pen would have worked to circumvent the vulnerability. And we probably have different definitions of “trustless.” See here for a common understanding within crypto: https://www.preethikasireddy.com/post/what-do-we-mean-by-blo... It doesn’t mean “you can perform some action without trusting anybody or anything at all.” Protocols, software, hardware…
