Guys, I have been wondering about this but I think I am correct (open to debating opinions though).
Domain flipping and Affiliate marketing had long been the go to business models for people wanting to earn online.
But with the advent of digital cryptography as applied to the internet, we now have people talking about web 3.0.

Domain flipping and affiliate marketing is you renting digital space from a corporation and earning from its sale or renting. That's a web2.0 model.
But crypto and DEFI creation, mining and trading is now the new way of doing this same business with an added perk of you owning a part of the internet yourself and earning royalties from its usage.

This being true, can explain why some countries are against it, because it makes people more powerful, right?
