I've been making money off Web2 for 17 years. And so have many others. In fact, most of the money made on the Web today is made through Web2 properties. That doesn't negate the benefits of Web3, but it isn't accurate to say no one is making money.

Global e-commerce is expected to reach $6.3 trillion in 2023. In the U.S. alone, it will be $1.1 trillion. Somebody's making money.
