There’s definitely a lot of potential. Judging a technology based on what the first few applications to materialize is extremely short sighted and has never been a good estimate of its future usage.
Personally I dislike full blown crypto zealots and also I dislike the Perl clutching tech crowd.
Just remember distributed tech has never been the most efficient way to get something done so if you’re looking at web3 from a purely better faster cheaper perspective then you won’t get it.
However, lucky for us, these aren’t the only problems to exist.
One dApp (or whatever blockchain application) I would love to see some traction is liquid democracy, from a government POV. The votecoin or adhocracy4 experiments exist but were not even in the right ballpark for a federal voting system that bypasses or changes Congress and constitution at its roots. I can see this huge someday, as zero trust is great and all, but it is a huge effort nobody has really started.
