In this episode of Weekly R0AR, we take a step back from price charts, hype cycles, and empty buzzwords to revisit the core values of Web3—and where they came from.
Using George Gilder’s “10 Laws” from Life After Google as a framework, we explore how decentralization, truth, scarcity, incentives, and innovation were meant to reshape the internet—and how far we’ve drifted from that original vision.
We break down:
Why Web3 was never supposed to be “Web2 with tokens”
How centralized platforms repeat the same failures Gilder warned about
The economic and philosophical foundations that still matter
What builders, investors, and communities need to realign on now
This is a conversation about principles over profits, protocols over platforms, and why the next phase of Web3 depends on returning to first principles—not reinventing the same broken systems.
If you care about the why behind Web3—not just the speculation—this episode is for you.
