Bitcoin's initial release was in 2009. Web3 was coined in 2014 and the first NFT was minted soon after. These technologies are not infants, and they're not teething. They're just toothless.

Nobody needs to explain [1] how great smartphones are, because they're obviously useful. Similarly, within a decade of the invention of the WWW, there were heaps of successful and useful sites (amazon, Bloomberg, Wired, Friendster, ...). [1] Note that Steve Jobs, when he introduced the iPhone, did have to explain it. He carefully explained that it was an iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator, demonstrated how to unlock it, how to scroll, how to open apps, etc. But then people got it. With crypto, after 15 years "you just don't get it".
