TLDR
So, is a fully decentralized internet inevitable by 2030? The answer is: not strictly. Many signs point to growth in decentralization, but strong forces will keep it from happening so soon. Technologically and culturally, the trend towards Web3 and DePIN is clear: enthusiasts and innovators are building the pieces of a new internet every day. The potential rewards – censorship resistance, privacy, inclusivity – are huge. If one day even a small percentage of the global population demands data sovereignty, the incumbents will have to adapt. Already, big companies are researching blockchain and mesh networks (for example, some telecoms have trialed decentralized 5G). Once a decentralized system reaches critical mas,s network effects will favour it.via the TL;DR App
