Call me crazy, but if crypto were actually useful, then more people would, you know, use it.

The problems crypto “solves” can already be solved with existing tech. The fact that some of those problems aren’t being solved by existing tech either means people don’t actually care about the problems, or that there are non-technical barriers in place to solving the problems.

Either way, there’s no there there for crypto.
