The evolution of the Internet is explored through its three distinct eras: the "read era," where information was democratized; the "read-write era," which saw corporate control over publishing; and the emerging "read-write-own era," characterized by blockchain networks that aim to democratize ownership and empower users. Chris Dixon argues for the revival of the Internet's original promise of creativity and innovation, distinguishing between blockchain's potential and speculative currency markets. His insights draw from 25 years in the tech industry, advocating for a future that prioritizes user participation over corporate dominance.
