1st things 1st: Blockchain is a network 

 of computers that verify and record data 

If all your data is stored on your computer, and it starts on fire, all your data is lost. Or, someone could hack in and change the data. Blockchain prevents this by distributing recorded data across the network. 

 information on decentralized blockchains 

 cannot be hacked, altered, or deleted 

And that's kinda the point of it all: Creating systems that are transparent, have the same rules for everyone, and cannot be changed after the fact. 

 Believe it or not, one of the goals of crypto 

 is to create a more equitable world... 

...through decentralization. It's really at the heart of this whole "crypto experiment." A world where access to money and information is democratized and free... for everyone. 

 Here's where 

 crypto comes into play 

Cryptocurrency is what powers decentralized blockchains. Computers on the blockchain need to use computing power to facilitate transactions and are incentivized to do so by being rewarded in crypto.

 A quick glance at today's pre-crypto internet 

 known as Web 2.0 

Today, we exchange our personal data to participate in on the internet (Web 2.0). Facebook, Twitter, and other big companies make billions by harvesting and selling your data in exchange for access to their apps.   

 Web 3.0 Decentralized social media 

 means more money for creators 

The goal of decentralization is to eliminate third party intermediaries when exchanging valuables. Currently, creators exchange content for money and social media companies take a cut. In web 3.0, a creator's fans and communities will pay them directly.    

 Web 3.0 decentralized social media 

 means more freedom of expression 

If you want to post on social media platforms, you have to abide by that company's terms and conditions or risk being banned. When these companies are replaced by blockchain code, the communities on the platform will dictate policies. 

 Web 3.0 decentralized social media 

 means no more harvesting of our data 

Since there's no centralized gatekeeper, there's no need to exchange your data for access to decentralized social media apps...you're free to use them without sacrificing privacy. 

 the metaverse is the pinnacle 

 of social media's evolution 

Picture everything you do online: shop, socialize with friends, watch movies, listen to music...all being done across connected, immersive digital worlds powered by augmented and virtual reality (eventually).
