I’m not sure I follow. I did not mean to imply I’m studiously watching every permutation of the blockchain hype cycle, simply, when it comes to new technologies which are billed as successors to long-lived incumbencies, I tend to take the middle ground.

I try to keep a measured view of the optimisic hype and the pessimistic nay-saying, and don’t expect clarity for a few more years regarding blockchains’ potential.

In general this philosophy towards technology has served me well enough. I miss out on the bleeding edge, but don’t fall into the trap of being “all in” before realizing a concept’s promise was oversold.
