To be realistic, internet and web technologies can thrive in an environment where majority of the things are available for free. That's why internet is adopted by the mass. If all of a sudden a segment of internet requires money to do some activities, it will fail miserably.
So Dorsey's web5 sounds like a niche segment within internet, that will be accessed and used by some niche segment of people. Will never be able to reach to the mass.

What do you think? Is Web5 really a catch phrase? Or is it completely different from Web 3.0? Do you think we may be too early to replace "Web 3.0" even when the world is stuck with Web 2.0? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 
The question is whether the Bitcoin network itself allows what other mainstream networks do, call it about Smart-Contracts. Otherwise, I'm not sure that Web 5.0 will actually exist in the future.
After all, in an essence, web3.0 doesn't even exists yet rather is simply a buzzword to make hype.
I agree with you, it's the same as Metaverse, for now it's just a buzzword to increase hype. But that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future, as far as I know, there are already some really serious projects in Web 3.0 development, for example the Solcial project, they aim to create decentralized social media.
I don’t care what they call it. I just hope they figure out a way to get new users to care about Bitcoin again. It’s starting to feel like nobody owns Bitcoin outside of fund managers these days. You can walk into a bar and nearly everyone will have some shitcoin with a crazy use case to pitch you but nobody owns Bitcoin. It’s viewed as a coin you need to buy shitcoins, but with the popularity of USDT & USDC, people don’t even need BTC for that anymore. Call it web69 if you want… If people can’t login to their Facebook accounts with a signed Bitcoin message before they can connect a metamask, you can kiss goodbye the next generation of Bitcoiner… Our toxic leaders are dragging us down the path of the Beta tape & 8-track. I hope the first mover crypto advantage and decentralized talking points can hold up long term because the toxic maximalism won’t.
From my perspective only a phrase marketing.
To be honest, the problem with Web2 to Web3 is the migration, most of users who is using "Web3" only from Crypto side. People are still stuck in Web2 and they think just using Web2 is already enough.
Since, they all know cryptocurrency is a little bit complicated.

Web 3.0 hasn't been thoroughly adopted by people worldwide, yet they're proposing a new version that will truly decentralize everything. I think we should wait a little longer until Web 3.0 matures before thinking of its successor. Based on what Jack Dorsey said about Web5, I think the only way it'll work is by using Bitcoin's Lightning Network. Otherwise, the main chain will become so clogged, TX fees will be ridiculously high. How to make people abandon the old Web 2.0 in favor of Web 3.0 is an excellent question. Crypto/Blockchain tech is just starting to blossom, so anything could happen in the future. Just my opinion

I think I’ll wait for web 5s or maybe, web 6. I have been using web 2 since I don’t know when but its battery life is no good anymore. I can’t go everywhere carrying a powerbank with me it is pretty tiring.
I’ve seen the design of web5, it is pretty too damn big. After the previous CEO’s death, Dorsey couldn’t manage to make the necessary improvements on the company so far.
If they remake the web2.0 with a bigger battery, I am sold. Would preorder this in a second.

Probably just a buzz-word, ever since we have such terms as web3 and others, they have to think of a new one to continue with the hype. But I guess it's just start from it's root, with some minimal improvement.
So yeah, this is probably just another catch phrase, to attract and wake up the interest of investors again, regardless if we are in a bear or bull market.

Are we already done with web3? i know the crypto community are still awaiting the ground breaking web3 has to offer base on what we have read so far by promoters and bloggers online. Now web5 is on the picture! i really can not say since i haven't witness any practical usage, for now it all sound like a catch phrase until it is proven not to be.
A while ago, Jack Dorsey proposed a new solution to truly decentralize the web. He calls it "Web5". Apparently, this will be Web 3.0's successor powered by the Bitcoin blockchain itself. From a maximalist point of view, this would mean Bitcoin will be used for everything you do around the web. It will act not only as a currency, but also as a platform for decentralized applications, ownership registry, decentralized identities, and more. Isn't this what Ethereum and other copycat smart contract platforms (BNB, Cardano, TRON...) are doing? If so, then "Web5" would be no different than "Web 3.0" itself. It could be a catch phrase to lure as much investors into Jack Dorsey's little project.
What do you think? Is Web5 really a catch phrase? Or is it completely different from Web 3.0? Do you think we may be too early to replace "Web 3.0" even when the world is stuck with Web 2.0? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Web3 protocol is just being formed. The developers tell us they are talking about a blockchain-based decentralized internet and that all data will be stored on decentralized nodes.What do you think?

But most decentralized nodes are located on centralized servers. All important data is located on centralized servers. I don't believe in this technology because it is based on centralized technology.
Is it really needed to have that progress of going up to web5 or so on?
Bitcoin can already be used for everything right now and who would use web5? Still we, the bitcoin adopters that have been doing good even if we're just web1, web2, web3 or whatever you call that web.
We're all good with the current state that we have, we all need is the continuous growth for bitcoin and everyone who doesn't know it yet has to be informed and educated.

I perceive it as rather a mockery. There are no such things as decentralised when some platform contains decentralised wording in their scheme/project to block/censor token access or some user within specific countries. Also, some communities are in favour that the foundation on some projects is taking over or stealing a whale account as Solend itself does, for the sake of project longevity they claimed. After all, in an essence, web3.0 doesn't even exists yet rather is simply a buzzword to make hype.
