I had submitted this too, but I now removed my submission and upvoted yours

I should have checked. I found it a good read - and it captures the sentiment quite well. I am always happy when someone points out the obvious that catering to degens is not a sustainable choice

"it invites compromising on a product with potential to cater to a non-existent group of people at the expense of real users. This is counterproductive in a search for the actual PMF."

Have seen this happen first hand.

Good article, actually I have read similar stuff recently on social arguing this perspective. What is a comforting idea maybe to keep in mind is that after the Dotcom era the internet did not die. It evolved as crypto will evolve.

Sometimes I think it would be great to not have to use the word crypto anymore, that it would just be a normal integrated layer of the open web. Same for the word NFT - at some point every concert ticket would be an NFT by default, the technology obvious.
