I've definitely been slacking on my "1 cast per week" goal, so to make up for that, how about I do an AMA for the first time? Topics I won't reply to: trad crypto infra (L1, L2 etc), prices, or personal questions

I'm somewhat more skeptical of "decentralized sharing economy" type stuff than I was a decade ago; it really does feel like the efficiency gains of economies of scale are greater than efficiency gains of unlocking spare capacity. But if someone does manage to figure it out, I'll be very pleasantly surprised!

The big one is payments. That was what originally interested me, even before Ethereum existed, and the main reason was there was a big gap to fill. Over the last decade, fintech has basically filled it for most people. Now, through most of Europe, Africa and Asia, we have great payment apps and standards where payments are extremely easy, free and instant. There are still some niches where crypto does well - particularly access to USD in countries where its restricted, and cross-border transfers in some countries where that's difficult, but by and large, crypto payments are destined to be a shrinking niche. The other one is social, and on a related note, DAOs - both of those things benefit much less from Ethereum than I had once thought. Other things like core DeFi, SoV, I'm still about as excited about them as I always was, however it's important to acknowledge that the main growth phase for those things are over. Converse - maybe stuff like EVE Frontier, collaborative environments etc.
