BlockBeats news: On January 14, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post reflecting on his blockchain vision from 2014. At that time, the vision was to have permissionless decentralized applications capable of supporting finance, social media, ride-sharing, organizational governance, crowdfunding, and even potentially creating a completely different alternative internet—all built on a single set of technologies. Over the past five years, this core vision has at times become obscured, and various "meta-narratives" and "themes" have at times dominated the discourse. However, the core vision has never died. In fact, the core technologies underpinning this vision are becoming increasingly powerful.
Vitalik said that in 2014, decentralized applications were just toys, and they were hundreds of times harder to use during the Web 2.0 era than they are today. By 2026, Fileverse will be user-friendly enough for me to frequently use it to write documents and share them with others for collaboration. A decentralized renaissance is coming, and you can be part of it as well.
