I don't get it, but sounds neeto
I just think of web5 and laugh at the name because of Jack skipping web4)). But have no clue what it actually is.

Web5 is just self-hosting, it doesn’t allow you to host websites on computers you don’t trust.
That 👆 would revolutionize the internet as we know it.
Then explain Nostr.
What? Nostr is notes, not entire websites or large files. Videos and images on Damus are links to the centralized internet.
It’s the architecture and it’s implications that matter, dude.
Imagine an evolved version of both architectures merged into one… its implications reach much farther than mere notes. 🌐
2+3=5?
It should mean a decentralized web atop Bitcoin spread across many untrusted relays, not merely self-hosted websites…
Web5 just added some great backups and DIDs as domains for self-hosted sites, but that isn’t decentralized across nations.
