@m1guelpf Totally. What smart contracts let us do is the “adjacent possible” from Bitcoin and so everything feels like novel mutations that haven’t found their footing yet. Give it time and problems will emerge for which these technologies will be a perfect fit.
@m1guelpf “Paradigm shift” is a bit of a hopeful prediction though, I don’t think technological shifts happen so linearly and can be predicted. We only see these shifts in hindsight.
Before iPhone native apps gained ground, for instance, everyone thought HTML5 apps would be the future.

@m1guelpf Right now, trying out web3 tech to see how they fit different domains *should* be encouraged, that’s how the technology finds its legs.
The “paradigm shift” you speak of comes after, when this knowledge is already discovered, and we mine the depths of it.

@m1guelpf We can’t mine the depths of something with new technology, just by thinking of it a priori & reasoning top down.
You won’t know the contours of how the tech fits the domain until you try it out.
Bottom up experimentation is how we find out what works.

@m1guelpf I don’t think a “web3 native” use case like flash loans could’ve been stumbled upon a priori. It was a logical conclusion of trying to make Ethereum smart contracts do P2P lending, and the specific contours of the technology (i.e. its capabilities & constraints) led us there.
