Besides paying for your drugs with it, what did crypto brought to this world that is effectively good? As I see it now it's only more fodder for speculators.

A couple of things you and gen pop are missing:

web3 solves the identity and privacy problems web2 created

NFTs are doing the same for art and expression by separating ownership of a piece and access to it
