Yeah it’s a collective “just use Rsync” blindness. I think Defi is pretty exciting and once it’s mainstream with more regulated options with KYC and tokens backed by fully audited companies it has some amazing potential.

Exactly! I find it so surprising how on one side stories like the one you linked are heavily upvoted, and many here complain about Google, Facebook, monopolies, etc. But when it comes to z technology that is disruptive enough to solve many of the underlying problems , people are fast to discount it because a certain implementation is slow, inefficient, misused, etc.

The discourse that I would LOVE to see here is HOW to make it better. Is BCH really better? Is XlM? even XRP.

Like when databases are discussed, we get interesting points for Postgres or MySQL or even Mongo. That's the constructive view.
