I was all set to complain about this, but the wiki is pretty on point:

> Crypto Asset: A digital asset that is traded on a blockchain. Crypto assets have no use-value, no fundamental-value, and no income-cashflows and are a manifestation of the greater-fool-theory.

From https://web3.lifeitself.us/concepts/cryptoasset. It also describes crypto assets as "libertarianism performance art".

No I dont want to give you my email to get the Updates. I am not even going to scroll 3 feet down to see if you have anything more to sell me.

Or is this "Web3"? It all makes sense now.

What makes me extremely skeptical of "Web3" is the marketed nature of it. The terms "Web 1.0" and "Web 2.0" were never used at the time of their emergence; those labels were applied after the fact (or once things were well on their way to the mainstream).

Nothing to make sense of. It's all a scam.
