Crypto has delivered a lot of great projects in the past 10+ years: * A new store of value (Bitcoin) * Programmable money with a lot of innovation still happening (Ethereum ecosystem) * Fully compliant chains for decentralized finance and payments * Fully compliant solutions for enterprises (Ripple and tons of others) * Projects that support financial inclusion worldwide (Stellar is awesome) * Stablecoins - basically stable, open, regulated money with lower fees * Privacy is the next focus with zero-knowledge (a very impressive tech) is being integrated * ... and a lot more ...

Sure, some people thought buying tokens was a way to become rich quick and lost money. Yes, some projects were not regulated and the regulators need to catch up. But overall progress is impressive imo.
