I get the sentiment, but believe you’re missing a big part of a user’s draw to blockchain tech: its novelty.

Designers: don’t let a new tech’s unique place in time be lost. Don’t look down on a technology or its fans based on their current manefestations. This technology will only be new once. It’s okay if early adopters are attracted to the risk. Be honest, but let everyone explore and discover along the way. We are figuring this all out as we go along.

This technology is decades old, and the fact that you consider it novel indicates that it can actually be new more than once.
