lots of people asking this privately but no one asking publicly

why is everyone so angry we don’t have any crypto apps

and why did we abandon integrating or transferring existing apps to be onchain

why the obsession with net new apps

[i have my own answer but steelmanning is good thought experiment for us all]

There are lots of crypto apps but nobody knows because they follow the crowd. The crowd being loud influencer voices.

The ones that have had a flash in the pan so far had points or tokens attached and influencers pumped to make money. 

Infra gets attention for the same reason.
