Blockchain tech should distance itself from finance and cryptocurrency. The most interesting and promising thing about blockchains is decentralized coordination of group decision making.
Based on your comment and the rest of HN, many people think blockchain = finance with cryptocurrency and NFTs. That’s what FTX was. Boring. DeFi is only slightly more interesting.
Blockchains like ethereum do run on a cryptocurrency, but the currency is not the most interesting part, it’s just lubrication for interesting applications.
