Quicknode founder here. video checks out. there are still a good chunk of smart engs who “don’t like crypto” because of what it was 5, 10 years ago. “crime” “drugs” “ransoms” “no utility”… we made this video to demonstrate today’s real-world use-cases, in an effort to educate and perhaps update the perception of onchain products, and general view of onchain technology. thanks in advance for watching!
As a technologist, you should understand that like with any technology or tool, it will be used in good ways, and in bad ways. Those who use it in bad ways will face consequences — legal, reputational, karmic, etc… That still doesn’t take away from the fact that there’s been /considerable/ progress in the crypto space in the last decade, and there are real, tangible, positive benefits today. Writing off the entire Internet in 2000 because it was used for bad things is such a short-sighted take. Just my 2cents, everyone is entitled to their opinion :)
