So now we go back to look what people are building, most of the space including smart contacts are just new market making features. Whenever is NFT, ENS, Inscriptions, DeFi and value taking markets that make the crypto world more complex but also gets further away from the real world IMO.

Is way more exciting to create new protocols, new platforms, marketplaces and specs than to bridge crypto with payment hubs so that farmers can sell their milk or eggs. Or that the wine bottles are tokenized or that the 2 million refugees in congo can get their identity registered on the Blockchain.

I'm sure there are devs that want to tackle this projects for recognition. But realize that sometimes this problems are way more complicated than write some lines of code. And other moving pieces need to happen in order to achieve the goal.
