On balance, I often question my participation in this space.
When I got involved, I genuinely felt like I was contributing to something larger than myself.
A revolution.
A chance to rectify the sins of our fathers, dismantle the status quo, and forge a system that leveled the playing field.
Even if I was to be a tiny component in a much larger machine, it felt like something worth being a part of.
Frankly, hyper-tokenization was never something I considered to be aligned with this thinking.
Still isn't.
I came up with Andreas Antonopolous giving speeches about not needing a blockchain for most things.
Nick Szabo speaking on how smart contracts can solve real problems.
I remember seeing Steve Wozniak speak in LA about how Ethereum represented the next logical iteration in global computing, its parallels to how they thought about the Apple developer ecosystem initially, and his optimism about its future.
Perhaps I'm an old ideologue whose time has long since passed or perhaps my time never came and it was all just a fantasy, or worse, a grift to which I fell victim.
But as passionate as I am about this industry, "tokenizing everything" is hardly my concept of a progressive future driven by blockchain.
I want to dedicate my brain cycles to solving real problems that affect actual people. 11 replies
