Historians will look back with amazement at how little HN seems to care about the future of money and economic systems.

95%+ of HN has been blinded with rage at the massive scams over the years in crypto, and now totally ignores the rapid pace with which this technology is going to eat the economic world.

Cloudflare had another product launch today. An email service. That post has 334 points and 252 comments right now.

With respect, HN is simply delusional about crypto.

There's a lot of money pouring into stablecoins for "internet native payments". I'm cautiously optimistic about a net powered by flows of money and not ads, so incentives can align around user preferences. But to work I think a first use case will need to come out that really displaces existing usecases or builds a wholly new experience. An integrated LLM-assistant experience, if the thesis is to be belived.
