Idk what clearer evidence you need that this space is dominated by gamblers & cults over investors & economic sustainability:

Trump announces a serious DeFi project, limited demand. Trump meme token with awful tokenomics? To the moon!

What actual useful thing can you build on-chain?

Working on building zkTLS infra/products. A ruthless empiricist and meme connoisseur.

Games?
Venmo-but-more-customizable?
Dns-but-better?

VLC and Gimp are useful by themselves.

Onchain DNS and Venmo alternatives are only useful in so far you have the cooperation of enough people to drive adoption.

Your ens would be useless if no one but you cared about it.

Do useful things necessarily have to take off quickly

Seems to be conflating multiple things

Eg many foss projects imo like ladybird and vlc and gimp are v useful
