why is the greed stronger than the motivation to build great decentralised applications?
we need to build more nice things
It is said for a reason : Money makes the world go around . There are few that are really interesting, but again nether of those projects need an extra token on ethereum network to be able to function as they are made. Devs of those projects run tokens as they are really easy to make with contracts on the ethereum network, so that they can take millions in their pockets and I just wonder who has huge money to dump on this tokens, we all can assume where will it end.
There are some great projects such as decentralized VPN that I came across few weeks back : https://mysterium.network/ , I am sure that there are other good projects that are worked on, will take time for them to get to the surface.
