To be perfectly honest, I'm inclined to say "yes." And I don't think it's even close.

LSD is one of the most important inventions in the history of humanity. The state has chosen to ban it, which to me seems a little childish. But I mean, I get it. Sure, go ahead, ban it for now.

In the face of such a small-minded prohibition, I might look around for tooling which seems imbued by its nature with a desire to circumvent such a ban. And even if it is scaffolded on hundreds of billions of dollars, it has the hallmark of a sacred origin if it's successful at doing that.

Or maybe not. I don't really know.

But I do feel confident that, in light of such circumvention, it's not quite correct to write it off as "nothing at all," which blockchain skeptics seem wont to do.
