    How do you see memes like this? Because I see them as lame and sad, especially since we have been seeing them for 10+ years now and they are still the same. But apparently you think blockchain has reasonable uses.

        Only misguided?

        I mean usually they are accompanied by false information and references to stuff like “crypto bros”, “pyramid schemes”,…

          You said “memes like this”. This one I see as misguided. Ones that shit on crypto and nft I generally agree with.

              No, it’s shitting on blockchain too. The only options are “don’t use blockchain” and “stop making crypto” which is misguided. I agree with the sentiment about crypto, not about blockchain

                    If you nitpick sure. But in practice crypto is the part that makes blockchain work.

                    There was a trend to try to separate them many years ago, because some people believed that was the way to push the technology forward - to focus on the blockchain part and try to hide the crypto part that has a bad rep after it was abused in the media as what only criminals use. But it failed. We shouldn’t hide the crypto part, but push it forward. That strategy worked! Today we have approved bitcoin etfs which is crazy amazing! And when eth ETF is approved, then all of them will have to be. This is the way.

                    I have no idea why you are going to the failed arguments from almost 10 years ago.
