Back in Web2, when I stored photos, wrote articles, or posted videos, I always thought those things were "in my account."
It wasn’t until my account got restricted or my content taken down that I realized: none of that stuff actually belonged to me—it was just temporarily hosted on the platform.
After moving to Web3, my mindset completely shifted.
Now, when I post something, I’ll wonder if it’s on-chain; when I write an article, I’ll think about saving it on Arweave for permanent preservation; I even bought an ENS just to make it easier for people to find me.
These aren’t just virtual things—they’re "digital assets" with clear ownership.
The difference is subtle but stark:
In Web2, what you create is just traffic;
In Web3, what you leave behind are lasting traces.
That’s why I’m relying more and more on life on the chain.
