circa eight years ago I read I book that was basically a compilation of how to "blockchain everything". nothing much of that long list came to pass (overt or covert money printing schemes don't count) and it isn't because there wasn't enough brain power, time, political influence and money invested. its not that concept failed because execution wasn't perfect and people had high expectations. in fact every trick on the book was used. to no avail. there is little to showcase or at least iterate on. there really should be a deep study to understand what has (not) happened and why. I believe one conclusion of such a study might be that the tech sector in its current incarnation is too detached from the core of society. unregulated, unchallenged, arcane and self-absorbed, essentially untethered, yet at the same time endowed with enormous resources on the premise that it is a golden goose (the very naming web3 alludes to this projection). in essence it operates in a different universe (so metaverse may not be too wide off the mark) whatever the next tech era will look like it will bear the scars of this recent past
