I agree. The explosion of hype, the layers of scams, the idiocy of NFTs - all of it has put a bad taste in a lot of mouths, which is understandable, but unfortunate.
It's unfortunate because distributed ledgers are so much fun to play with. Conceptually simple enough that you can build one from scratch in an afternoon; deep enough that, notwithstanding the hype, there remains a huge amount of room for ideas barely explored.
Imagine if Hacker News could be a place that celebrated ideas like this for the love of hacking.
