I'd like to be indignant with you, but until a week or two ago, I was definitely in that camp. There's so much hype around crypto that it almost felt like there had to be nothing there, and if there was, it was hard to identify what it was. And yeah - there's definitely some cool stuff happening with NFTs, but at least for me, there's a lot more "what in the world is this money laundering" than there is "oh cool".

I personally love the whole decentralization aspect of crypto/blockchains, but absolutely hate NFTs for irreversably poisoning the well rather than just the fact that they're useless money laundering scams. The problem stems from the fact that actual useful applications take time to develop, whereas just slapping an image on an NFT and investing in marketing takes no time at all. Same for cryptocurrencies. But IMO that doesn't invalidate the technology as a whole, it just speaks for humans' greed, nothing else.
