I'll give you 1998 (although it really started to pick up momentum a couple of years earlier - that was just the point on the exponential curve where it began to get noticed).

And I'll give you 2008, although while it's partly about the hardware, it's also about the pervasive and universal internet, the end of online as a separate "place" and just becoming part of the fabric of day-to-day life.

2013 and crypto, though? Sure, it's made a few (or maybe not so few) people very rich. In terms of day-to-day functionality though, NFTs were empty hype, and the only vaguely useful activity I've seen it used for was probably illegal (circumventing blocks in the global financial system) even if not necessarily immoral.
