In this video, we're going to talk about Web3 vs. Web5.

Okay, I know what you guys are thinking, but let me explain. The name "Web5" is just a marketing gimmick and it has nothing to do with Web3 and all the innumerable shit coins that populate it.
In fact, Web5 is a new set of web protocols with no tokens, which intends to solve a very practical problem, the ownership of data and identity.

Now, what does this have to do with Bitcoin? After all, this is a strictly Bitcoin YouTube channel. Well, in this video I wanna explain to you what the Web5 thing is and how Bitcoin fits into all of it.
