When I read web3 co.'s product/ tech description it almost always feels like some form of tech. literacy gaslighting. I always feel initially like there's something elusive that I'm not grokking b/c I'm not a blockchain zealot.

Then I sit back and realize that it's usually because most of the examples I read are trying to solve non-technical problem (attribution, trust, etc.) with a buzzy tech solution all wrapped in a serious bit of speculation.

I think there's a lot of room for improvement in the tech of our law, banking, and logistics systems (COBOL--> anything else?), but the kneejerk to some "decentralized" system that needs total but in from it's participants to work actually seems more fragmented and fragile than our current institutions...
