What would you say to a person that thinks that crypto products (stuff built on the networks themselves) are solutions seeking a problem?

I had an incredibly spirited discussion with a non crypto friend of mine and was low key struggling to defend crypto enabled products. Help?

I think this is a good thing. It's creating the future. If it was already here it wouldn't be the future but the past.

Over the years I've let people's skepticism of new technology undermine my confidence when I should have just said fuck it, just do it. So many opportunities missed, and even the failures would have been valuable learnings.

You are in a historic period of innovation, discovering possibilities and creating options. You'll know it in your gut if you're heading in an interesting direction. None of this is predictable. Create the future!

Yeah it’s testing my confidence right now, in real time. 

I do think all this stuff is the future but when I’m talking with people outside of the crypto bubble, it’s almost like a reality check.
