I'm an old timer. My first "PC" was an Altair 8800 that my father put together and then a TRaSh-80 and a Bell 202 with FSK modulation. Now I have 2 smartwatches, 3 smart phones, an android auto setup in my work van connected to all three, 2 racks of switches and servers in my wiring closet running my media server, lighting systems and alarm systems along with the sprinkler system. I can open my garage door from India. I can turn on every light and open every door even if I'm in Australia. I have 2 SAT phones. I have a device that will provide a 12 lead EKG through my phone and will send it directly to a board certified cardiologist automatically and get a reading back in less than an hour.... Half of the equipment in my shop is tagged with bluetooth or GPS locators. The point of all of this ranting is that technology adoption doesn't always move in smooth linear directions. There are often setbacks and sometimes implosions (Windows NT 3.1, NeXT, etc...) A secure global, trustless and permission-less system for transferring data, ownership and value? That's some Star Trek shit...Anyone who doesn't see value in blockchain, doesn't understand blockchain. Google used to be "just a search engine"...
