I’m with you. Of the folks I know who mess with crypto stuff in any capacity, none of them seem to actually think it’s a good idea. It’s just a way to make money. I don’t think VC-funded companies see it any differently.

Maybe referencing the Dropbox comment is unfair. I know it gets widely over-referenced to begin with. I mostly just mean, I could always be wrong.

I really can't blame them for doing it, when everyone around you appears to be in a mad gold rush then it makes sense to start selling shovels. At least if you get stuck with a bunch of shovels you can't sell, you can start a landscaping business or a farm. With crypto not so much.
