> Yes, sometimes the most exciting things are emergent, but it's been over a decade of the blockchain field of dreams and we're still talking in hypotheticals are what it will be good for. There’s a reason our current financial infrastructure is still being run on cobol: if it only took 10 years to build it would have been updated already. Financial tech takes a very long time and with a revolutionary idea such a cryptocurrency, I’m sure it will take even longer. Things take time, 10 years is not a long time, however I agree with the overall sentiment about web3 and crypto in general in this thread. Cryptocurrency is less a currency and more another financial investment vehicle for people that are tech savvy enough to get into the game. Put in another way: it’s primarily being used to make money, not trade it for goods/services. Maybe one day it will be used truly as a currency, but txn fees are too high and “HODL”ing makes the person money so they’d rather not trade it.
