Blockchain hype
Dead, buried, brought back to life, shot, brought back to life again and grafted to AI, beaten with a shovel, and currently laying in its own piss hoping 2024 is better to it.

I don't think those hypes are proppin up any the economy. Basic needs, like food, do. Those hypes are like the furniture in top floor of that building.
Sure, that's the real economy, but the way the west measures it is largely based on how the stock market is doing.
I'm in the west and i don't. I think we like to use GDP and Inflation. Those could be better, but they are not too bad. The stock market is mostly for gambling.
