杰克·多尔西 (Jack Dorsey) 已被著名风险投资家马克·安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 屏蔽在他与他人共同创立的社交媒体平台 Twitter 上。
此前，多尔西批评了风险投资行业的某些角落，并对安德森共同创立的安德森霍洛维茨公司发表了几篇具体评论。
本周，Dorsey 对“Web3”——一种基于区块链的潜在新的去中心化互联网版本发表了多种观点。也许最值得注意的是，这位企业家表示，Web3 将由像 Andreessen 这样的富有的风投而不是“人民”拥有。
“你没有‘web3'，”他在推特上写道。 “风投和他们的有限合伙人这样做。它永远不会逃脱他们的激励。它最终是一个带有不同标签的中心化实体。”
然后，在周三，多尔西在推特上写道：“我被 Web3 正式禁止了”，并附上了一张显示他被安德森屏蔽的屏幕截图。他的推文促使其他几位也被安德森屏蔽的推特用户分享了类似的截图。
安德森通过早期对 Facebook 等公司的押注赚取了数十亿美元，他支持了许多正在研究有朝一日可能支持 Web3 的技术的公司。
Andreessen 还与程序员 Eric Bina 一起发明了第一个广泛使用的点击式网络浏览器，最终成为 Netscape。
安德森·霍洛维茨 (Andreessen Horowitz) 在其网站上有一个名为“web3 政策中心”的页面，其副标题是：“我们值得拥有更好的互联网。”
“我们没有所有的答案，但我们渴望与政策制定者、公民社会和其他合作伙伴合作，为如何使用这些强大的新工具造福社会定义一个积极的愿景，”风险投资说。
该公司周四没有立即回应 CNBC 的置评请求。
什么是Web3？
Web3 仍然是一个模糊的概念，但其想法是它将由区块链提供支持，区块链是许多主要加密货币和不可替代代币或 NFT 背后的技术。世界各地的众多企业家正试图设计和构建支持 Web3 的技术和协议。
追随 Web1 和 Web2 的 Web3 的拥护者认为，当今的在线平台过于集中，并被少数大型互联网公司控制，例如亚马逊、苹果、Alphabet 和 Facebook 母公司 Meta。
当特斯拉首席执行官埃隆马斯克询问他的 6740 万推特粉丝是否有人看过 Web3 时，多尔西暗示它已经在安德森霍洛维茨的控制之下。
“它介于 a 和 z 之间，”多尔西说，他上个月卸任 Twitter 首席执行官一职，专注于他的支付初创公司 Block，前身为 Square。
Web3 的支持者大军希望看到互联网的力量掌握在人民手中，而不是风险投资人手中。他们认为，对于少数公司或投资者来说，管理规模太大且太重要。今天，互联网对全球经济至关重要，并在为从核设施到医院的一切事物提供动力方面发挥着作用。
除了互联网，还有由加密货币企业家和比特币和以太币等硬币的粉丝领导的去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的大力推动。
Dorsey 从风险投资公司那里为 Twitter 和 Block 筹集了资金，他本人是比特币的大力支持者，他的 Twitter 简介只是“#bitcoin”，后跟比特币符号。然而，他不太热衷于其他加密货币。
周三晚些时候，他回复了一位 Twitter 用户，称他不一定反对以太坊，这是一种支持加密货币以太 (ETH) 和数千个去中心化应用程序的技术，其中包括安德森·霍洛维茨 (Andreessen Horowitz) 支持的一些应用程序。
“我反对中心化、风险投资、单点故障和企业控制的谎言，”多尔西说。 “如果你的目标是反建制，我向你保证它不是以太坊。”
Jack Dorsey blocked on Twitter by Marc Andreessen after Web3 comments
Jack Dorsey has been blocked on Twitter, the social media platform he co-founded, by renowned venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.
The block comes after Dorsey criticized certain corners of the venture capital industry and made several specific remarks about the firm Andreessen co-founded, Andreessen Horowitz.
This week, Dorsey has expressed multiple views on “Web3” — a potential new decentralized version of the internet based on blockchain. Perhaps most notably, the entrepreneur said Web3 would be owned by rich VCs like Andreessen instead of “the people”.
“You don't own ‘web3,' he tweeted. “The VCs and their LPs do. It will never escape their incentives. It's ultimately a centralized entity with a different label.”
Then, on Wednesday, Dorsey tweeted: “I'm officially banned from Web3,” alongside a screenshot showing he had been blocked by Andreessen. His tweet prompted several other Twitter users who have also been blocked by Andreessen to share similar screenshots.
Andreessen, who has made billions off the back of early bets on companies like Facebook, has backed a number of companies that are working on technologies that could one day underpin Web3.
Andreessen also invented, with programmer Eric Bina, the first widely used, point-and-click web browser, which eventually became Netscape.
Andreessen Horowitz has a page on its website called “web3 Policy Hub,” with the subhed: “We Deserve a Better Internet.”
“We don't have all the answers, but we're eager to work with policymakers, civil society, and other partners to define an affirmative vision for how to use these powerful new tools to benefit society,” the VC says.
The firm did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment on Thursday.
What is Web3?
Web3 remains a hazy concept, but the idea is that it will be powered by the blockchain, the technology behind many major cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens, or NFTs. A plethora of entrepreneurs around the world are trying to design and build the technologies and protocols that would support Web3.
Advocates of Web3, which would follow Web1 and Web2, believe today's online platforms are too centralized and controlled by a handful of large internet companies, like Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Facebook parent company Meta.
When Tesla CEO Elon Musk asked his 67.4 million Twitter followers if any of them had seen Web3, Dorsey hinted that it's already under the control of Andreessen Horowitz.
“It's somewhere between a and z,” said Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter CEO last month to focus on his payments start-up, Block, formerly Square.
Web3′s army of supporters want to see the power of the internet put in the hands of the people, not VCs. They believe it's too big and important for a small number of companies or investors to manage. Today the internet is vital to the global economy and plays a role in powering everything from nuclear facilities to hospitals.
Beyond the internet, there's also a big push to decentralize finance (DeFi) that is being led by cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and fans of coins like bitcoin and ether.
Dorsey, who has raised money from VCs for Twitter and Block, is himself is a big proponent of bitcoin and his Twitter bio is simply ”#bitcoin” followed by the bitcoin symbol. However, he's less keen on other cryptocurrencies.
Late on Wednesday, he replied to a Twitter user saying he's not necessarily anti-ethereum, a technology powering the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications including several that have been backed by Andreessen Horowitz.
“I'm anti-centralized, VC-owned, single point of failure, and corporate controlled lies,” Dorsey said. “If your goal is anti establishment, I promise you it isn't ethereum.”
