I am going to guess that you did not study economics (not an insult, just observation). Many of the things you point out (lack of understanding in non-practitioners, the role of scarcity in pricing, the effect of forks on market cap) all have ready parallels within our existing financial systems and all are legatimite problems that are explicitly what blockchains are trying to address. Dismissing it because it is still struggling with the same issues seems premature.
