You make it sounds like it's a struggle between two sides. It's just another option for a creative person who has a problem to solve. Maybe it'll be used for something interesting. Maybe it won't be. It's just a

The metaverse is and was a guess at how the children of today might interact as they age into active market participants. Like all these other examples, speculative mania preceded genuine demand and it remains to be seen whether it plays ou

The more people that feel this way the better (for those of us who they do work for).

Yeah, there's a lot of agency on both sides of the equation when it comes to any kind of consultant. You're less likely to have bad experiences with doctors if you're self aware and thoughtful about how you interact with the

I think you have to want or need decentralization in order to buy into most of the use-cases of the technology, either because you don't trust institutions or because you're in a part of the world where either the institutions are
