Gold. Shells. Anything that people have used as money over the years.

I do not disagree that blockchain tech has a good use case. It's just that it does one thing: a distributed ledger. That's it.

"That's it" fails to capture the fact that said tech still has a collective market cap of $984B[1], after it has had precipitous drop in value over the last 12 months. Maybe, a distributed ledger for digital goods is a massively valuable tool for humanity?
