    NFT as ape pics are dead, yes. But crypto as a form of value exchange for transactions where you don’t want too many eyes looking at it has not stopped since its invention in 2008. It’s just going to become a normal staple of the internet, like Bittorrent and VPNs, just existing and being used without anybody really caring too much about the technology itself. I still use it to pay for some online services where I basically just want to hand them the internet equivalent of a wad of cash without giving anyone any account details of any kind. I’ve been doing that since 2013, the NFT thing just kinda came and went and I didn’t care too much about it.
