"think the answer is a mix of lost trust in crypto fundamentals over the yrs due to lack of progress and excess scams; bc of this crypto "utility" is now called midcurve in the perjorative sense (as if a fairy tale for retards only) + new generation too intellectually stunted to hone a craft (trading research etc) due to addiction to dopamine as a service; AI/LLMs only going to make this harder as ppl can paradoxically achieve more "productivity" while still getting worse at the last small job they have (i.e. think critically to formulate a good prompt)"
