I'm very conflicted on this one. Normally I'm all for exploring and poking at new opportunities, especially tech-based, but every time somebody tries to explain the benefits and opportunities of cryptocurrencies and NFTs I get a very uneasy feeling. I can't quite pinpoint why, which isn't very useful, but there you have it. I think it might be to do with crypto and NFTs being almost exclusively the domain of the already-rich, which is not a playground I have the means or desire to play in.
This feels like something that could massively benefit some early adopters (like you, Elle!), but that if it became more mainstream the potential investment opportunities would be so thinly spread that we'd be back to square one in terms of useful patronage.
How all of this could be used is definitely undetermined. When the internet first started being a thing we couldn't have guessed we would use it for email and social media, etc. I think the web3 world is like that now. It will be interesting to see what will be built on top of it, but nothing is mainstream yet so it's hard to say what will stick!
