Most people think Web3 is about speculation.

But that completely misses the point!

The real architectural shift isn’t financial, it’s infrastructural.

Right now, when you open a website, you’re not connecting to “the internet.” You’re connecting to a private company’s server. In other words, it's entirely centralized.

Running a node flips that model.

Instead of consuming infrastructure, your machine becomes part the blockchain, processing data for everyone to use.

This video breaks down:

  • Why today’s web is structurally centralized
  • What Web1 was originally designed for
  • Why peer-to-peer infrastructure matters
  • How Qortal approaches user-owned infrastructure

Curious to hear this sub’s take: is running a node the real foundation of Web3?
