This makes me sad though I don’t disagree that the only consumer crypto companies that have found ~PMF appeal to greed Hoping that apps can find better use cases for such powerful onchain tech because it’s pretty cool and would be sad to see it wasted on a casino Long live the computer

Not saying those apps can’t exist, makes sense to me why they do I just find them uninspiring and think they’re a net negative for an industry that already suffers from poor public perception (and therefore adoption) I think the composability and programmability of blockchains are really interesting, excited to see more apps lean into those aspects rather than just trying to financialize everything
