I have a lot of things in involved with in life, and to varying degrees. Crypto is by no means my absolute focus.
However, crypto is immensely useful, and no amount of wishing it away or saying ‘the time hasn’t come’ for it will be effective. It has a niche, and will occupy that niche successfully, without any big battles to fight.
It also is flexible, and new uses will come around, paralleling the existing ones.
My own uses for it are primarily in DAOs, which are really neat and useful, for me. There are plenty of other uses, but voting and traceable structure and organizational finance as exist in some DAOs really is a major one.
