Crypto culture has gone too far no doubt but so has a lot of other things that were hyped up in their time. 2018 will be the year a lot of Hype gets subduded and VCs finally take track of the situation and understand what they are throwing money at.
By the time this year ends i think the space would have matured a lot with major players like Ethereum taking the lead on actually improving their application by leaps and bounds and making it developer friendly to build upon.
Agreed! As a developer there is a weird culture of ownership within open-source projects that is causing a lot of headaches for those trying to learn how to actually create useful stuff with the technology.
Too many companies and individuals want to have their own projects instead of combining talent and really innovating together. Which has always been the main issue with open source projects. People stick around long enough to learn and then they fork it into their own idea which leads to 30 versions of the same broken code instead of maybe a few versions of a working product.
Ethereum is easily the best developer community to work with so far, but even they have issues containing the community focus into pressing matters over fringe projects and ideas.
Consensys has been a big help in organizing the community around specialized initiatives, and with companies like Kauri and my own, we hope to start creating universal knowledge hubs for blockchain as a whole.
Its going to be a great year for progress over hype, and i'm excited to see what this time next year looks like compared to today.
