Cappuccinos first popped up as the 'Kapuziner' in Viennese coffee houses in the 1700s. A description of the 'Kapuziner' from 1805 described it as "coffee with cream and sugar," and a description of the drink from 1850 adds "spices" to the recipe.
Either way, these drinks had a brown color similar to the robes worn by the Capuchin ('Kapuzin') friars in Vienna, and this is where their name came from.
Although the name 'Kapuziner' was used in Vienna, the actual cappuccino was invented in Italy, and the name was adapted to become 'Cappuccino.'
It was first made in the early 1900a, shortly after the popularization of the espresso machine in 1901. The first record of the cappuccino we have found was in the 1930s.
'Cappuccini' (as they are known in Italy) gradually became popular in cafes and restaurants across the country.
After World War II, the cappuccino making went through some improvements and simplifications in Italy. This was largely thanks to better and more widely available espresso machines.
These improvements and the post-WWII affluence across parts of Europe set the stage for cappuccino's eventual worldwide popularity.

Eh while I'm inclined to believe crypto is the future, it feels like it still has a long ways to go before we're at the point of mass adoption.
In the short term, I feel like radicalizing the workers that go on to found these companies is the way to go. I joined a game dev worker co-op discord a while back and it was really cool seeing disillusioned big tech workers there talking about how they wanted to leverage their capital/network to start their own thing. Like devs already have the skills to build non-exploitative alternatives to these SaaS products and given the relatively high salaries especially in the US, they are better equipped than the average worker to accumulate the startup capital that's needed and/or take a paycut in order to help make the world a better place.
