You know what is the true "web3" nobody talks about?

All the nodes running Umbrel, Start9 Embassy, RaspiBlitz, etc.

They run self-contained apps on hardware people own.

They talk to each other over Tor and they can achieve consensus either over Lightning Network or over the Bitcoin network, whichever is needed, on a case by case basis.

You know what is not web3? Everything people call "web3".

Rather than being decentralized, these apps run on a blockchain somebody controls that itself runs on top of AWS that runs on machines in somebody's data centers. How is this decentralized compared to people running their own software on their own hardware in their own homes and having this software achieve consensus whenever needed?
