It was about 3-4 years ago, I was checkout out meetups at my local city and came across this launch of some new tokens/NFT. At the time, I was on a financial constraint and wanted to get a job, so I attended a lot of these to meet potential investors, employers, etc. This dude rented out a massive mansion in the middle of the city and the tickets were like some $15 only. There were a lot of people like me, but there were a lot of old people too in the crowd. They didn't look like the rich types to me. This guy literally promised 10x ROI for every dollar invested in some crypto under his own name. He got a lot of "pre-bookings". I was curious, read more about this dude and crypto itself and realized it wasn't as useful as people hype it to be. I tried to build some applications on top of it. It always felt I had to go out of my way to make a use case for it. Eventually, that's when I realized most people who talk about crypto are marketers or scammers like this dude. The rest of us - we are just tired of hearing it everywhere around us when it makes no sense even in certain applications.
