I'm a zoomer myself sitting with 2K pees and buying monthly around 300.

Hope to get to around 5000 Internet computers (ticker ICP) before this alien tech takes off.

Yes current Web 2.0 is great and has no issues

As a senior software engineer ICP gives off some red flags for me and here's why:
ICP at its very core uses something called Web Assembly (WASM)

WASM was born in Web 2.0 way before ICP was born and it was made in theory to boost web performance by providing a portable code format to run in browsers at native speeds. Sounds good in theory right? Well WASM never gained traction and it heavily flopped, no one is using it today because JavaScript is just that much more convenient and faster to prototype with as well

The creators of ICP thought: What if we try to revive WASM but with a blockchain meme sauce layer on top by bringing it over to Web 3.0 and present it as some sort of revolutionary paradigm? Well it worked for them seeing how it lured brainlets from /biz/ and half of India into investing into it so kudos to them for pulling this off

So why did WASM flop? That's because JavaScript is easy to write, and Web Assembly isn’t even intended to be written by humans, plus its most efficient code is generated by C or C++ source code, which isn’t for everyone either

The only thing WASM has going for it is being able to do heavy-duty tasks on the web, but we have things like GLSL for that

There is this truism that technology never dies

Most big bank, airline, credit, and other very large systems still run on COBOL or other mainframe-era technologies.
In my line of work I still encounter VB6, PowerBuilder, and other 1990’s-era technologies powering mission-critical systems

Knowing this fact, I think it's highly unlikely that the usage of the ICP blockchain will be adopted into the mainstream seeing how even Web 2.0 failed to adopt it

The theory behind ICP was neat, but they forgot to take into account the actual reality/practice

ICP was dead on arrival because it bets on the wrong horse as evident by its chart

You need a blockchain project that can convince current traditional companies to switch over and this is just not it

No adoption = No project
