That's totally fair. I see potential more than killer apps. But I think your attitude is fully defensible.
What I find peculiar is a flat out, almost arrogant, rejection of blockchain (and what I believe is a fundamental misunderstanding) from our technological elite.
It's almost as if they are focusing on the wrong thing which to me is the nearly comical surge in "value" of some crypto currencies and the literal view that they are and can only be a store of value.
There's plenty of scams and stupidity but there's also real potential I believe. I'm very possibly a naive fool too.
