What if the real challenge of the Internet… is trust?
From the first ARPANET cables to the blockchain, one question persists:How can we trust in a faceless digital world?
1969 – ARPANET: the first message between computers.
➡️ The Internet is born, but remains a network reserved for experts.
1991 – Web 1.0: read-only.
Static websites, no interaction. A vast library.
Trust? Not yet an issue.
2004 – Web 2.0: we read and write.Explosion of social networks, e-commerce, collaborative tools… But also: centralization, massive data collection, manipulation.The crisis of trust is here.
2008 – Financial crisis. 2009 – Bitcoin. An unknown person named Satoshi Nakamoto publishes a 9-page PDF.
➡️ The birth of blockchain: a system without intermediaries,where trust is replaced by verification.
Blockchain is:
✅ Public, secure, tamper-proof ledgers
✅ Transactions without a central authority
✅ Truth guaranteed by the network itself
"Don't trust, verify."
Web 3.0: the Internet of ownership, resilience, and transparency.
Based on:
• Blockchain
• Cryptocurrencies
• Decentralized digital identities
• Smart contracts and NFTs
Users finally regain total control over their identity, their data, and their digital assets.
The internet was the tree. Blockchain is the root.
One connects. The other protects. Together, they redefine trust.
