I think 2018 was the year of FinTech, which translates mostly to "altcoins".

I was looking for a job in the summer of 2018 and that's what all the ads were for. Ended up working for an ISP though, which was nice.

Haven’t seen any “Web 3” shills for a long time, gone right out of style it has!

Scroll back far enough on the X timelines of a few AI evangelists/specialists/advisers: oop, there they are. NFTs, Ethereum, altcoins.
