BlockBeats News, January 14th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post looking back on the 2014 blockchain vision: The idea back then was to have permissionless decentralized applications that could support financial, social media, ride-sharing, organization governance, crowdfunding, and even potentially create a completely alternative network, all built on a set of technologies. Over the past five years, this core vision has sometimes become blurred, with various "meta-narratives" and "themes" taking precedence at times. But the core vision has never died. In fact, the core technology supporting this vision is becoming increasingly powerful.

Vitalik stated that in 2014, decentralized applications were still just toys, much harder to use in the Web 2.0 era than they are now. By 2026, Fileverse is already user-friendly enough that I can use it frequently to write documents and collaborate with others. The decentralized renaissance is on the horizon, and you too can be a part of it.
