In 2023 non-blockchain decentralized technologies will leave web3 in the dustbin of history.

@seldo Blockchain is way overused and over-hyped. I still think there's a use for decentralized, self-sovereign digital cash.
Cardano is very decentralized, very energy efficient, and very scalable. Besides all of the fretting over money laundering, I don't see a downside.

@chad "apart from it being primarily used for crime, no downside"?

@seldo Well that’s a complex topic that needs some robust debate.
Is there a use for self-sovereign digital cash besides crime? (Similar topic to self-hosted decentralized social media. I could argue the primary use is to evade DMCA, CP, and hate-speech moderation)
If there is a use case, is that something we can reasonably support while also mitigating criminal use? Are there criminal mitigation methods that don't simply undermine all the benefits of the currency?
