My entire country has been
[successfully lulled into](https://web.archive.org/web/20220627152822/https://www.cryptobahamas.com/speakers) the
cryptocurrency brotherhood, but I still can't help but be left utterly confused
with the use of the term "[Web`3`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web3)". In my
vocabulary, Web `3.0` refers explicitly to the
[Semantic Web](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web).

In the future, historians will awe at the absolute might of western style
marketing to hijack a term, redefine it in real--time, and ride the initial
momentum to a totally different destination.
