Alright, I admit it, I work in tech, I have been in crypto for 4 years or so, and I genuinely have no idea what crypto is used for other than an investment or money transfer product. You can make apps on it?

Edit to clarify: I like crypto myself, got a punk rock vibe to it. I just don’t know what all it gets used for. Also the job in tech is internal tools dev at a medium sized game publisher.

Yep. I think about this constantly, I understand the use case for something like Bitcoin. Transfer money with no middle men. I get that.

What the hell are these other chains supposed to be doing? Half my damn portfolio is Ethereum and I genuinely can’t tell you what your supposed to do with it. Why would you develop an app on a Blockchain? Let alone how. Is there some inherent benefit here? God I have no clue.

For the longest time I just thought it was like providing a decentralized version of something like AWS or Azure, like a grass roots server host. Holy shit I was wrong. There’s all sorts of shit you can make apparently.

But yeah idk. Feels good to come clean. I got into it cause it seemed like a smart investment and so far so good. But I’m amazed I’ve not come across any real application of it in my day to day life so far that I’m aware of at least.

I cannot be alone here right? Please. It’s wild to me that I understand more about the idea behind what an NFT is (supposed to be) used for than any application of any other blockchains.

Idk if anyone else is in this camp and feels dumb you’re not alone. I feel ya.
