Control is the end game
Control, not just ownership, is the goal in Web3. Ownership alone is not sufficient in the decentralized future.
Opinion by: Riccardo Sibani, chief product officer at My Neighbor Alice
If you were to ask professionals in and around the Web3 space what drives the industry, many would say ownership. They’d tell you that decentralization will empower us to own our data, assets and digital identities. Some might even argue that this promised ownership would be the great emancipator and great leveler, helping us break free from the known shortcomings of centralized control and systems.
They’re not entirely wrong, but they’re overlooking a critical point: Ownership is not enough.
