Web3 = Control

You cannot control everything. But with Solana, you become the god of the new world (or at least, the god of your own account). I got into blockchain a few weeks ago out of pure curiosity. No grand plan, no roadmap, just a "why not?" and a rabbit hole I haven't been able to climb out of. Here's one thing I've picked up so far. In Web2, you think you own your account. You've got a username, a password, maybe even two-factor auth, all the features that make you think you're in charge. But the company holding your data can lock you out, suspend you, delete you, or simply go under and take everything with them. And then you realize, you were just a tenant, not an owner. You were never really in control. On Solana, that changes completely. When you create a Solana wallet, a keypair is generated: your public key and your private key. Your public key is your address. It's how the world knows where to find you on the chain. Your public key is also what makes Solana accounts work.
