Consensus is the opinion and belief of a group

Gustave Le Bon, the founder of the famous French social psychologist, pointed out in his book "The Crowd" that the factors that determine the opinions and beliefs of groups are divided into: direct factors and indirect factors

Indirect factors:Can make a group accept some beliefs and make it difficult to accept others. For example, the emergence of Web3 and the idea of ​​ownership confirmation. Many people think that these are spontaneous appearances, but this is only a superficial phenomenon. The sudden appearance of new ideas, sudden outbreaks and quickly put into action by people are long-term preparations. strength.

direct factor:The factors that give an idea a certain form and enable it to produce a certain result. The sudden adoption by a crowd of an idea is the continuation of a permanent preparatory force provided by indirect factors which actually convinces the crowd and makes it act spontaneously for the result.

Once a race has formed its own character and disposition, as a result of the laws of heredity, it has such powers that its beliefs, institutions, arts, in short, all the elements of its civilization, are only the outward appearance of its temperament. Performance.

3. Time

Time plays a huge role in the formation of opinions in groups. Some great elements, such as race, also depend on it and cannot be formed without it. It causes all beliefs to be born, grow and die. It is time that they gain power, and it is time that they lose power.

4. System

The system can correct the disadvantages of the society, the progress of the country is the result of improving the system and governance, and social changes can be realized by various orders. Institutions are the product of ideas, feelings, and customs, and ideas, feelings, and customs are not rewritten with the rewriting of the code.
Institutions and governments are products of race; they are not creators of an age, but are created by it. Furthermore, a nation has no real capacity to change its institutions. Necessity and time are responsible for perfecting constitutionalism, and we are wisest to let both factors work.

Is there a consensus on Web3?

A hundred schools of thought contend, orthodoxy leads Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, and Confucianism. There are endless disputes for the consensus of the world. They cannot be unified for a long time, but the enlightenment of consensus has further affected the development of civilization. Today, the Internet makes the distance of reality no longer a decisive factor, and the breadth of knowledge The depth and depth of the people's wisdom are no longer comparable, but the complexity of people's hearts is increasing, nationalism and geopolitics are constantly erupting, and it is becoming more and more difficult for people to reach a consensus.

But the consensus of needs is always looking for a beacon of progress:

• When we no longer trust centralized institutions, we ask whether there is a technology to help build trust.

• When we started to fear the control of the big platforms, we asked if there was a way to bring ownership back to the individual.

• When we no longer want to work for our bosses, we ask if there is an organizational way for everyone to work equally.

Differences in Web3 Consensus

secondary title

Web1

• Read-Only Internet (read)

• You can only read the content on the webpage, and cannot participate in the creation of content (unless you join the editorial department of this Internet company), the most typical representatives are Yahoo, Sina Portal, Sohu Portal, etc.

• The time frame is roughly from 1996-2004

• It is difficult to form a large-scale network effect, and the coverage of the population, network scale, and commercial benefits are relatively limited

• The scale of Internet companies will not be very large, and they are relatively decentralized

• secondary title

Web2

• Write to the Internet (read+write)

• Everyone can create content through the Internet, the most typical ones are Facebook, Douyin, WeChat official account, etc.

• The time frame is roughly from 2004-today

• The network effect can be quickly formed, and the coverage of the population has been enlarged on a large scale, especially since smartphones began to be popularized on a large scale after 2010, so the network scale and commercial effect have been rapidly enlarged in the past ten years

• The rapid formation of Internet giants, such as Facebook and Douyin, has formed a huge capital and talent aggregation effect, and the platform-based business model drives commercialization based on user privacy data, making data and markets highly concentrated in the center of several giants

• Faced with the algorithms, scale and commercial capabilities of Internet giants, individuals become very small, and they are only tools for producing data and realizing commercialization

Web3

• Internet of Ownership (read+write+ownership), commonly referred to as the Internet of Value in the industry

• The Internet built on the blockchain, users can have the ownership of the content and data they create

• The time frame is not strictly defined now. Some people count it from the birth of Bitcoin, but I think it is inappropriate because the large-scale application of scenarios is still in the exploratory stage, and we cannot count the appearance of domain names as the beginning of Web1.

• The infrastructure is still in the construction stage, and the business model and scenario-based application are still in the exploratory stage

• The current giants are still limited to the currency circle, and the application layer is still in its early stages

• Emphasize decentralization, whether it is the relationship between users and products, or the collaborative relationship between product builders; emphasize user ownership

Where does the Web3 consensus come from?

• Blockchain technology is a decentralized distributed ledger database with significant technical advantages such as data privacy protection, tamper-proof, traceability, and multi-point data consistency. At present, the application of blockchain technology has been extended to many fields such as digital finance, Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, and digital asset transactions. The integrated application of blockchain technology will greatly promote technological innovation and industrial transformation

• The investment innovation of the economic system, whether it is DeFI or GameFi, individuals or organizations have experienced a style that is completely different from traditional concepts in terms of investment methods. As an emerging economic model, the timeliness and rate of return will promote the breadth of knowledge and depth

• The sense of belonging of data ownership. Data is a product of personal life and learning, but it does not belong to the producer of the product, but is controlled by the platform. Data is not circulated and shared on various platforms, which means that the time and energy spent will be lost. Pain and annoyance, if the data is confirmed to belong to the producer, the consensus will be beneficially promoted

• DAPP is another option for centralization. The advantages and disadvantages of centralization are obvious. The publication and storage of important personal data has no choice and cannot identify authenticity. Decentralized DAPP will be centralized in terms of functional requirements. a shock of

Summarize

At present, there is no real and effective consensus on Web3. The investment enthusiasm driven by the economic model innovation can only be seen as short-lived and risky. An industry or technology should be a benign solution to the demand pain points in the process of production and life, and to discuss technology, Ecology, application display and healthy economic investment, the consensus is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is inseparable from Web3, and the consensus has become.
