As usual, South Park is harsh but contains a kernel of truth (see recent episode on crypto). We need to stay focused on real world utility in crypto. Sound money (a refuge from inflation), frictionless global payments, democratized access to credit and capital formation, better news from prediction markets, and basic property rights for everyone with a smartphone are huge accomplishments. Next, crypto will need to build in the world of atoms not just bits. Prospera, the Network School, better governance, and accelerating hard tech companies (better funding of biotech, brain machine interfaces, robotics, energy, etc) are all underway. Tackle more ambitious and long term projects (a decade plus) that will really matter if you actually succeed. This is much more fulfilling than some short term payoff.
