What a load of nonsense. The dream isn't "dying", it was never alive: crypto and "Web3" were never about anything other than "number go up" speculation and gambling; anyone who thinks otherwise is either profoundly dumb or in on the con and trying to leave you with the bag.

Very disappointing to see IEEE cover this as though it's an actual thing, would they cover the "dying dream" of Amway knives?
