Web3 for Beginners

Published on December 7, 2025

You’ve heard it everywhere; Web3, crypto, blockchain, NFTs. But what exactly is Web3? Let’s strip out the jargon. Web2 is where you use the internet. Web3 is where you own part of it. On Web2 platforms like Instagram or TikTok, you create content but don’t own the platform. Web3 flips this, it gives users ownership, identity, and opportunity. Think of Web3 as: the internet + money + ownership where users can earn, govern, and participate where digital assets belong to you, not a company Examples we already see: NFTs as access passes Tokens as community currency DAOs as group decision systems Wallets as digital identity It’s still early, which means learning Web3 now is like learning the internet in 2000.
