Marketing of crypto as a technology is completely captured by actors who just want to market speculative investments rather than the value creation mechanisms they represent. Imagine if the marketing of Coca Cola were completely buried by the marketing of Coca Cola stock. Or T-bonds were easier to buy than groceries.

The challenge lies in shifting the narrative from speculation to the foundational technologies. Solutions can include refocusing on the tech & its value creation. This could involve collectively increasing educational efforts, utility showcasing & fostering communities centered on tech first approaches.

Such a stark contrast, isn't it? The initial excitement around early technologies like HTML, FTP, and the emergence of emails and early IMs (e.g., ICQ, mIRC) was all about fundamentally transforming global communication. These technologies laid the groundwork for our interconnectedness today

I agree, the story would need a push towards what the tech enables. This focus on speculation gets weary. 

Makes me wonder what kind of story was being told when HTML/FTP was in it's nascency.
