This happens every time I ask for use cases in these threads. It is always something just over the horizon.

The early internet immediately allowed people to do cool stuff that was explainable if someone had a moderately open mind. If wasn’t vaporware.

Thank you. This mirrors my experience to a T. It's always those same empty sets of phrases

"Just imagine all those possibilities."

"It may not be there yet, but the smartest minds are working together on it."

"How can you not see what the importance of this new infrastructure?"

"DAOs, NFTs, [insert new useless crypto tech of the day]"

If, just once, they could just provide a single real use case that would actually improve my life... I get it, crypto is great for buying drugs on the internet, money laundering, riding the hype train, speculative investment, and so on. But I just have never seen any real legitimate use case that would benefit from crypto.
