Every decade has at least one of these buzzwords (multimedia, internet/ online, social media, mobile app, blockchain, cryptocoins, micropayment, delivery, ai,...).. They can be used to attract dumb investor's money but they have their useful sides too.

Ok. They are just buzzwords which outline a set of tools. They are worthless without a realizable concept with a benefit for the end-user. And the use of the right tool for the job. So, I'm not sure about useful cryptocoins and blockchain use cases (I wouldn't count financial speculation as particularly useful).

    Every time somebody starts raving about some tech, it'll turn out to be a classic hype cycle.

    That graph is peak bullshit.

    Just because you believe the hype, it doesn't mean there's a milder use case for your application.

    This isnt productive, and the hype is the largest I have ever seen. Ireland–a wealthy developed tech savvy nation–isnt building new homes to address their housing crisis because this shit is taking all the energy and water.

    That's true. The tech bros are playing the market by blowing bubble after bubble and raising the stakes each time.
