i feel like nearly all blockchain systems end up creating a massive mess of completely centralized search & marketplace systems. this marketplace feels like yet another an massive admission that blockchain/crypto tech can't/won't decentralize.
i really miss bittorrent. 20 years ago we were just trying to connect with one another, trying to share information, trying to search through information (via peer exchange & peer exchange search extensions). we weren't obsessed with consensus, with proof-of-x, with scarcity; the digital was becoming vastly connected, with none of these constraints.
i increasingly feel like search/marketplaces/knowing the available info is the primary thing that needs disruption, that it's at the core of most of the hard problems of the internet & connectivity, and i feel like the mainstream world has seen practically no disruption in 20 years.
