Chris Skinner's blog Shaping the future of finance
The belief in crypto has fallen through the floor in second quarter 2022, mainly due to factors from stablecoins that became unstable to exchanges that locked customers in (Celsius, Binance). So, I found it interesting when one cryptopunk asked the question on twitter: what do you believe in?

It can be financial, social, societal, health, life related.

Or because by using blockchain in HealthTech and InsurTech for example, industries can work together.
Blockchain will be implemented in healthcare to have transparency, and allow patient control, which will allow better patient care!
Unpopular opinion: insurance companies and hospitals actually don’t really care as much as they claim to about patient care and mostly care about $

And that NFT (non-fungible tokens) still matter.
