Beware the FOMO Bullies of Technology

  > Perhaps worst of all, I find so much of Web3 deeply inaccessible. When I took the time to set up a crypto wallet and participate in the new economy, the experience was devoid of thrill. I didn’t feel that sense of hope and potential that came when I first logged onto the internet, logged into Facebook, downloaded a song on Napster, or held a smartphone in my hand and checked my email away from a computer. This is why it feels like hype. In reality, all this web3 stuff doesn't actually add value for the additional complexity it requires. There are no new experiences, just finalization of the existing ones. (Barring the few non-crypto blockchains that are making meaningful contributions)
