We are standing on the brink of a brand-new era of the internet that holds the potential to revolutionize our financial interactions and reclaim control over data and privacy from large corporations. This revolutionary concept is often referred to as Web 3.0. While Web 1.0 revolutionized information sharing and commerce, paving the way for giants like Google and Amazon, Web 2.0 unlocked the social potential of the internet, giving rise to platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. However, the exact trajectory of Web 3.0 remains uncertain.

While the technological, social, and economic innovations that converged in Bitcoin and the blockchain technology it spawned are undeniably the foundation of Web 3.0, the intricacies of this new realm remain somewhat enigmatic.
