But when it comes to Crypto there's almost literally nothing interesting to come out of it except:
- scams
- ponzi schemes
- other get rich quick schemes
- schemes that ignore any and all reality
- schemes that are better done using almost literally any other technology (including Brainfuck and MS Access)
- Vitalik's long-winded essays that are either superficial takes on some distant future or technical reports on fixing something in ethereum
And yet for over 10 years now we've been hearing that "there are good and interesting things happening in crypto".
Edit: oh, there's some usefulness there as well: circumventing government rigulations to pay for something illegal, or to be an unregulated uninsured "at your own risk" alternative to Western Union or Moneygram
The MAGA comparison is very apt
