If you’ve spent any time on the internet this year, chances are you’ve heard about cryptocurrencies, NFTs, the metaverse or web3. Maybe all of the above.

But after spending a few days at South by Southwest – where crypto enthusiasm was quite strong -- I do want to address a fundamental misconception about how these new ideas will change pop culture.
