Do you ever need to get actual users and use cases if you can just keep churning out hyped-up catchphrases, hashtags, and Twitter threads instead? I guess we'll find out eventually.

I've seen a number of hype waves over time -- some that I jumped on, some that flopped, some that worked out. Web 2.0, smartphones, SoLoMo, 3D printers, VR, deep learning, chatbots, wearables... one thing is sure, "web3" has the lowest content-to-hype ratio of anything I've seen

Short list of things that I was enthusiastic about very early, basically on day one: web 2.0, smartphones, DL (back when all the ML folks thought DL was a fad). Things I was cautiously optimistic about: SoLoMo, VR, early crypto (2012-2013).
