Why does web3 insist on using cryptocurrencies?

I'm a huge fan of offline-first collaborative apps, but I don't care at all about the crypto bullshit.

It’s just another story to keep the con going a little longer - they failed as currency, payment system, asset tracking, app platforms, smart contracts, and now this.

None if it makes any sense, nor does it have to as long as it convinces new marks that their ‘tokens’ are going to the moon because they are the future of x.

You and me both, Bruno. We're last on the consideration list though, always-online software and crypto integrations are the future whether we like it or not. There's money to be made there, why would they reject it?

Crypto world has also co-opted the word ‘metaverse.’ I always thought that term meant some cool VR future, but I guess I’m getting NFTs instead.
