The Minting app is the first real-world demonstration of exactly how we're streamlining crypto. I get that you don't like NFTs, I didn't like them either until this collection. But if you really want to know what the future is we're building, you should buy one and see what we've already built. The real-time updates from the blockchain took SO MUCH engineering to get right.
We've talked at-length about why we started with NFTs, because building blockchain integrations takes time. Starting with NFTs is a lot less risky than the possibility of "oops, we just accidentally sent $100,000 to a random wallet and now we'll never get it back." You demonstrate a technology on something relatively low risk, and then you scale it up.
Honestly, folks... our plan before March was to quickly give you a beta app that was mostly user workflow examples that let you connect your wallet and not much else. In the exact same amount of time, we delivered a fully-functional blockchain with a real-time responsiveness that is unmatched. The dev team worked an average of 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 3 months to deliver that.
If that doesn't make you bullish... I don't know what to tell you.
