Comment on Why I don't ride the AI Hype Trainparent

Comments

I'm somewhat skeptical, but also honestly curious: what game-changing applications came out of the blockchain/web3 hype craze?

The area I was briefly interested in was in the fintech/lending space. Not an expert though. I saw some cool ideas out of it at that time and interviewed several rounds with a company in that space.

One for the few interesting ones is Polymarket, the betting platform.

Drug and firearm escrow services.

That and crypto-blackmailing.

I am convinced that the only use case for cryptocurrencies is criminal activities.
