A lot of people deny all of that, actually.
> slow
They say "there is no faster way to achieve distributed consensus".
> waste
They say "it's not wasteful because its securing the network".
> buggy
They say "unlike all other software systems, it's never been hacked!".
> hyped
They say "it's literally the greatest innovation since the internet"
> And i dont understand Why so many dont see a benefit if we could one day build true decentralized systems
I have no idea, I guess most engineers are just too jealous of early adopters getting rich to be willing to give cryptocurrency a chance. There are so many problems that can be solved right now with cryptocurrency if the community would just give cryptocurrency a fair shot instead of always trying to say that it doesn't solve any real problems.
Note: the previous paragraph is a satirical portrayal of a cryptocurrency enthusiast attempting to explain why the entire software community isn't hyped about cryptocurrency.
> open-source
Blockchain software is an amazing example of open-source software, but blockchain is ultimately unimportant with respect to the entire open-source movement as whole.
> decentralized
Blockchains are decentralized, but they can't "decentralize the world" because they don't exist in the world so they necessarily require outsourcing any real world effects to untrustworthy humans who do not have to respect the state of the blockchain in the material world.
> free information
Not sure what this even means, but whatever market incentives exist that might keep information from "being free" will always exist, regardless of blockchains.
> patentless
The patent system is a political institution that will exist regardless of blockchains.
> nobody can rewrite history
As has been demonstrated many times, blockchain history can be trivially rewritten given the appropriate political influence of those who control the nodes. The DAO is a classic example of that.
> force a monopoly down our throath
Blockchains do absolutely nothing to stop this.
> be unaccoubtable for their actions
Blockchains do absolutely nothing to stop this.
> censor us or run us around like sheep.
A government can effortlessly censor you and doesn't really care if are able to flip some bits in an arbitrary digital ledger.
> One day we stop shooting ourselves in the foot and pee our pants and stop being blind to the tech giants like they have our best interrest
The cryptocurrency community does not have our best interest at heart.
> A true decentralized system might be nesssary one day to avoid us being enslaved in democrazy
This is the height of cryptocurrency delusion. I regret that I have to sound so dismissive but I think the monumental assertions you're putting forward are fundamentally disconnected from history and our current reality.
Im thinking about civilations destroyed or Winners of war rewriting history, or powerfull companies and poltiticians covering up information that was already out there... eg recently we found out its easy to delete from waybackmachine. If you cannot Imagine we Can build true decentralized tamperproof systems or could ever have a neeed for one i suggest you study human history.
None of these are engineering or technical problems. They are all extremely complex meatspace-based problems that get solved (if they are even solvable at all, or even actual problems) well outside of the realm of computer code.
Bitcoin and Satoshi's Glorious Blockchain is, was, and always will be a solution in search of a problem.
In regard to bitcoin it works pretty well for a lot of things and not so much for others. Just as everything. Personally it served me well.
And Having background in lottery abd payment industries i Can tell you we are already using it.. current systems are a terrible mess Which Anyone who ever had to implement against visa mastercard banks etc can tell you All about. Private blockchain ledgers like in the mentioned corporations is already in use and even more in the future.
Admirable goals but lots of us have aspirations. You need to demonstrate how your suggestions can actually help, and at this point, explaining it is not enough, you and your community need to stop talking about it and actually do something. No other software requires so much vocal defense.
Nobody denies its slow, its a waste of resources, its buggy, its hyped. its a lot of things many early systems was. Its all challenges that people try to solve. What is interresting is if those things can be solved. And i dont understand Why so many dont see a benefit if we could one day build true decentralized systems... its not the distributed or avalibility thats important. Its not like goverments or companies always have the peoples best interrest when they make decissions.
