What’s a web3 sector that took too long or hasn’t lived up to the hype? 

Enough so that you got disillusioned and moved on?

For me it’s tokenized real world assets.

For others, it’s self sovereign identity, DAO coordination, merchant payments, governance, scalability, etc

I still think synthetic assets will be big but the industry has a bad reputation when it comes to security and it’s clear that we can’t trust centralized exchanges. So maybe once defi has stood the test of time this will materialize but there’s also a lot of red tape to get through.

It makes sense that many things should be tokenized and traded in a transparent manner. Traditional stocks + real-estate property were my fav categories.

Agreed synthetic assets _could_ be huge and likely will be on a long enough time scale. 👍 They also seem like the biggest target for regulators.
