The result? A perfectly valid and valuable technology has been completely disregarded by the public

No. Stop. If blockchain, nfts, etc. had actual merit over what we already have rn, they would be used everywhere. But ever since the inception of the og blockchain, they do not. Because there is not a single actual use case of them that isn’t already done (and done better) by other tech.

So stop this “oh it was good, just misunderstood” nonsense. It was never good, and never will be.
