Meta tried very hard but their ideas of how VR/AR will be used are very misguided. I guess it could be used as a social media, but it’s really much more well-suited to games and especially tools, the latter of which is quite underexplored.
Entirely agreed on blockchain. The technology itself does have uses, but for the most part it doesn’t improve on having a centralized trusted source. For situations where that + a method for recovering from the loss of that source is not sufficient, blockchain can offer advantages, although its adoption still suffers from the network effect like anything else does. Cryptocurrency is valid, NFTs have theoretically valid uses but have never actually been used for them, and crypto stocks are, as with any stock, just gambling.
