I just wonder how many people have heard of say, Secure Multi-Party Computation, before they come to the conclusion that they need to print their own money. Yao pioneered many interesting concepts which have basically been swept under the rug because nobody is interested in something that isn't "blockchain." All blockchains are valuable to someone - the creator. They're cash cows. They start with the premise that they need a blockchain (so they can print money), and work backwards - what can we apply the blockchain to in order to convince people to buy our token. How many cycles of pump and dumps we can go through before people realize that it isn't going to work. If everyone can and does print their own tokens, what are your tokens going to be worth?
