The concept is to give full energy back to Internet users, who would management their identification and data in a very decentralised universe.
Jack Dorsey, the Twitter co-founder, who at the moment helms Block, an organization specialising in cell and digital fee, can also be an important evangelist of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies typically. Now, he has now give you the time period Web5, an ideal addition of Web 2.0 – the so-called social internet, as we all know it at the moment – and Web3, an idea already envisioned by many.

But to obtain this, it would nonetheless be obligatory to “recover” the management of this data, which at the moment belongs to the massive teams and companies with whom Internet users have opened every kind of accounts. This is the criticism made by Jack Dorsey about Web3.
“You don’t own ‘web3’. The (venture capitalists) and their (limited partners) do. It will never escape their incentives. It’s ultimately a centralised entity with a different label. Know what you’re getting into…” he tweeted in December.
Technically, Web5 could be a decentralised internet platform, composed of a number of functions that may even be decentralised, thus giving people possession and management of their identification and their data, which they alone would retailer.
The identical licensed credentials could be used for all the companies supplied and would solely be held by the users themselves. Data could be transmitted in a totally encrypted means, and Bitcoin could be the default foreign money.
