Who cares. Nothing has ever been less consequential than crypto nonsense

I don't think you could be further from the truth. Just flat wrong.

Look at DeFi. Look at all the apps that are being written on blockchains. Sure, there are scam projects, but a lot of genuinely great ideas are being developed.

For example nobody used AMMs until Uniswap started doing it and now they are the norm.

From someone outside the DeFi/blockchain space, so far mostly what I see are reports of $millions in $TOKEN being "stolen". Would love to see reports of real-world useful, in-production apps that a) require $TOKE, b) are done without increasing climate change, and c) aren't mainly used to prove the greater fool theory (once again), e.g., Bored Ape NFTs.

What sort of apps? Most stuff in the public eye are things centralizing stuff. Like the big exchanges and big NFT sites.

What sort of apps are good that are being written on blockchain? Especially ones that require crypto[currency]

There's nothing interesting about being able to write apps. That's what computers do, they run things.

What's interesting is being able to write an app that actually does what you wanted it to do.

> nobody used AMMs

Well yes, and they still don’t? I can’t find any non-crypto user from googling. Can you source that they’re the “norm” for market making now?
