The World Wide Web was not "just an experiment for a long time". It was released outside CERN in 1991. By the mid 1990s we had a graphic version ordinary people used to browse content which (other than screen resolution) would be familiar today and mainstream corporate participation. After a decade we were past the first bubble and had Amazon and Google.

Not true at all. It almost immediately took off and transformed economies within a decade. The same can't be said for crypto. Crypto is older than the internet was _after_ the dotcom bubble.

> tokens and shitcoins as get rich quick schemes are detracting from the true innovation imo

What are the true innovations in blockchain technology?
