> Around the same time, "Crypto Twitter" was spiraling into a mood that I saw described as "financial nihilism": roughly, that the natural end state of blockchains is gambling, this is good, and if you dislike this and wish for something better then you are a stuck-up elitist prick.

Crypto's main use case at this point is undeniably deeply corrosive corruption and money laundering, and as far as I know there's nothing plausible on the horizon to replace that (I kind of stopped paying attention after crypto industry leaders started meeting with Trump, though.)
