Even reaching for an analogy like the "gold rush" is bad discussion: the American gold rush was directly responsible for the rapid colonization of the west, which had negatives, but today is home to the most economically prosperous regions in the entire world. San Francisco wouldn't exist anything near its current form without the gold rush having happened; arguing Web3 is like the gold rush is tantamount to saying "its a bubble, it'll pop, but it won't disappear and it'll eventually become a stable, critical component of our society". If you believe it'll pop and disappear, at least use a better analogy, like the dutch tulip bubble.
