It was definitely visible during the dot-com bubble that some projects, ideas, companies would have a future. And back in 2000-2001 people were already experiencing the advantages and benefits of using the web and products on the web in their lives. Contrast that with crypto, 15 years in and no one knows exactly what's good for, there is no mass of people being helped by it. There are some traces of some people being able to evade capital controls in dictatorships and... That's basically it, no other benefits to the masses have shown up, at all. What was the cost of this benefit? Hundreds of thousands to millions have been scammed out of their money by con-artists.
