Check out Tim Roughgarden’s course on Foundations of Blockchains, Jimmy. Current iteration of web3 and DeFi is a lot of hot air and BS but I think the general idea of trustless computation is bigger than just Bitcoin and that new applications will arise given time.

That is what I tend to think.

I do not know enough to have an educated opinion.

But, intuitively it feels like the technology can be used in a lot of novel fields. And might find new applications.
