That is not the point I was making. My point is that Web 3.0 is not a great con and that it's here to stay and that down the line we won't even think about it.

That is not the point I was making. My point is that Web 3.0 is not a great con and that it's here to stay and that down the line we won't even think about it. It also being used today, but today we are having the same kind of discussions as we had with the internet in the 90's Bitcoin changed from being currency to being store of value. Quite a big change. But again I am not sure who you are trying to convince here. I have already provided plenty of examples of what I think is use cases both from business to infrastructure to societally. I never said just believe it and I am not sure why that straw man is being thrown in there. It's always the same discussion though. People who say they want use cases aren't really interested in them. It's a weird phenomena to me but each to their own. You are more than welcome to think there isn't a reason to think it's going to work out and then you act accordingly to that belief. I see it differently I do see the need and act accordingly. It's all good.

> Bitcoin changed from being currency to being store of value. Quite a big change. It's never really been used as either in practice, because of its volatility. "Store of value" is a big statement for something that was once at 60kUSD and is now at 20kUSD. It's mostly used because "number goes up". > plenty of examples I went through your links, they don't pass the test I mentioned, namely: in practice, you're better off without a blockchain. That's why so many of these are just "ideas" and not actual businesses and never take off, even 10 years in and all the tech being there already.

  All businesses are fundamentally "just" ideas that have been executed. You are proving my point exactly. You set up some arbitrary rules that you want reality to comply too and then you make all sorts of claims from that. And some of these I mention ARE already businesses some of them. This is exactly what I knew would happen. "If this is reality I deny reality" is basically what you are saying.
