Vitalik posts a review of the 2014 blockchain vision, stating that the decentralization renaissance is imminent.

Foresight News reports that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin revisited the blockchain vision of 2014 on social media: at that time, the idea was to have permissionless decentralized applications that could support functions such as finance, social media, shared mobility, governance, and crowdfunding, potentially creating a completely different 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” once dominating the discourse. But the core vision has never disappeared. In fact, the core technology supporting this vision is becoming increasingly powerful.

Vitalik stated that in 2014, decentralized applications were just toys, and using them was a hundred times more difficult than during the Web 2.0 era. By 2026, Fileverse will be good enough that I can frequently use it to write documents and send them to others for collaboration. The decentralized renaissance is coming, and you can also be part of it.
