Crypto has not automated away anything useful beyond toy projects nor shown potential to do more with less. If crypto disappeared today its disappearance would have zero impact on goods and services.

As a consumer I would prefer it. If all they did was narrow selection it would be a win. An online search for 3080 RTX yields more brand flavors than a toothpaste aisle. Except consumers can understand toothpaste flavors. No idea why we nee

It’s not an overwhelming advantage. Also the problem isn’t having luck, individuals only have luck in hindsight, it’s competing against luck.

Android is a chat app? iMessage is nice but has far far fewer users than WhatsApp, WeChat, etc.

Writing a messaging app is a fool's errand. You either build a chat app with someone elses money, invest in all chat apps (1/n) and hope you score a big one - e.g. like textbook publisher, or you wait and M&A the successful on

All they need is a few more decades and billions of cash to burn to turn this into a viable mass-market conusmer product. Most new technologies fail. Except for some reason techies won't let VR just die.

Instead of our engineer talent pool working on things that matter, such as managing climate change, thanks to (in part) a16z they now work on overheating the planet with lame monkey jpegs. We are in proto-idiocracy.
