Very nice! I think we agree more than 90% - indeed, most of my older posts are more about experimenting with novel applications and new infrastructure possibilities. However, like I said in that rant, I've used hyperbole for effect. Also, over time, the mix shifts towards consolidation/expansion vs. experimentation

I've written a lot about onchain games and fractal scaling, for example, and I absolutely still think those things are worth experimenting with. Product-market fit is unknown, but there's at least some rationale for why using a blockchain *may* lead to novel usecases. My beef is more with throwing money at same trash.
