The difference is that Dropbox was a prediction about a business model, while the anti-blockchain comments are assessments of a technology.

A lot of the bullish claims about crypto are based on badly misunderstanding the underlying technology. HN is not predicting anything in that case, just debunking misinformation.

You're changing the topic. This thread was about decentralized, blockchain-based apps, not about decentralized finance.
