Every problem, issue with crypto-tech seems to be solved with yet another layer of crypto-tech. Every criticism of the tech is deflected by pointing at yet another project that is claimed to fix what is being criticized.
Cryptocurrencies have so far not resulted in a compelling use case. All that we are seeing is a questionable solution looking to solve some as yet undiscovered problem.
The parent comment is a bit flippant, but I agree with the thought. The entire crypto industry is rapidly becoming a bizarre and convoluted rube goldberg machine that is completely impenetrable to anyone but the most ardent zealots. Even more, as an outsider it seems like everyone is in this echo chamber of back patting and "with just this one more buzzword bingo sounding feature, we'll have unlocked the true potential of crypto".
Day traders want to trade, no matter how much you try to tell them their trades are fictional or "have no use cases."
Not ever person in the world needs to work on trying to totally reinvent things either. But the idea that something is wrong because it's different than what already exists is ridiculous. It's literally Larry David looking at the wheel in the commercial and saying "seems pointless".
It's a complete failure of imagination.
