Jack Dorsey strikes for a crypto all-round blow


 

Jack Dorsey started a debate on Twitter about the Web 3.0 and took on the crypto celebrities.

In the crypto space, Jack Dorsey is considered a bitcoin advocate. No wonder, the Block (formerly Square) CEO has been trying for years to push ahead with the adoption of the cryptocurrency. For this mission, the 45-year-old even announced his retirement from the Twitter boardroom. Via his short message service, the American has now initiated a fundamental debate that divides the minds within the scene.

It all started with a tweet that Jack Dorsey posted on Tuesday, December 21st. In it he wrote that the vision of “Web 3.0”, a decentralized Internet that is owned by users, was a hoax.

You don't own Web 3.0. It belongs to the VCs [venture capital companies] and their LPs [limited partnerships]. It will never be able to escape their influence. Ultimately, it remains a centralized entity only under a different label.

Know what you are getting yourself into.

He then followed well-known venture capitalists on the crypto scene. Including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Gemini founder Tyler Winklevoss and Marc Andreessen. The latter took the action as an opportunity to block Dorsey on Twitter for his part.

Dorsey also criticizes Ethereum

The Twitter founder joins the group of critics who consider the term Web 3.0 to be a pure marketing campaign. Dorsey himself does not believe in the narrative of decentralization. In his eyes, many projects are just about keeping their venture capital firms happy.


In this context, the American also attacked the Ethereum network, which stands for the Web 3.0 vision like no other. Dorsey made fun of the distribution between small and large investors with a cartoon.

Suddenly, the Twitter founder found himself confronted with criticism. On social media, users accused him of being a bitcoin maximalist who failed to see the true potential of Web 3.0. Dorsey then stated:

I am not anti-ETH. I'm anti-centralization, VC dependency, single point of failure, and company-controlled lies.

The debate is far from over. Jack Dorsey continues to shoot hard against the crypto celebrities on Twitter - especially Andreessen Horowitz. After Marc Andreessen blocked the 45-year-old, the block CEO wrote: “Now I am officially excluded from Web 3.0”.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
