# Is web3 a means to dismantle the American tech hegemony? # Is web3 a means to dismantle the American tech hegemony?
Web3 is not a means to disrupt the American tech hegemony, companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. Since web3 has no coherent meaning or purpose, all projects that are currently being developed under the web3 umbrella are aimless technical Potemkin villages that mask thinly veiled [pump and dump](../concepts/pump-and-dump.md) schemes based on [securities](../concepts/security.md) [regulatory arbitrage](../concepts/regulatory-arbitrage.md). This type of company structure is not set up for long term growth or product delivery outside of pumping more token schemes. **Web3 is not a means to disrupt the American tech hegemony, companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon etc.**
This is further evidenced by the simple fact that [blockchain](../concepts/blockchain.md) technologies have intractable scalability problems, and that the only means they do scale is by [recentralization](../concepts/recentralization.md) thereby recreating just another corporate monolith but based on inferior technology and without the ability to perform [regulatory arbitrage](../concepts/regulatory-arbitrage.md)..

There is no future in web3 that poses any threat to tech monopoly because there simply is no meaningful tech to challenge any real business model.
