but is "capitalism at its best" the same as "humanity at its best" or even "humanity at its pretty goodest"? Does the average person without capital want capital, or do they want... to live a happy, stress-free life? right now, obtaining capital is a way to achieve that _because_ capital is so unevenly distributed, but it's not the end game of humanity. caveat: I'm not an academic so I could be missing a very obvious piece of nuance in what "capitalism" means in the context of this discussion.

> Whether you’re here as a missionary or a mercenary, you’ll find that one of the primary unifying forces behind this movement is the belief that decentralized technologies with embedded financial incentives (a good shorthand for Web3) offer a compelling, often lucrative, alternative to our decaying legacy institutions

The only reason people are interested in these "lucrative" alternatives is because our "decaying legacy institutions" have incentivised wealth. I've yet to read a compelling argument as to why making a bunch of nerds (like myself) rich is not just a continuation of capitalism. An alternative to capitalism is something that removes financial incentives from life.
