  Okay, jeez, I can't win here. The second you start to advocate for blockchain or mention its potential utility, people will glom on and mock you for being a pipe dreaming gambler. The second you start to advocate against it or mention its overvaluation, people will glom on and mock you for your bootlicking close-mindedness. Personally, I believe in blockchain. I think Ethereum and IPFS may one day be hugely successful. I own ETH, BTC, and a few other coins that I do believe in but also would not be surprised / upset if they went to $0.00 tomorrow. Yes, I know that's gambling. BUT, MY POINT IN MY ORIGINAL COMMENT WAS THAT NOT TO DO WITH MY BELIEF IN BLOCKCHAIN. I was literally just trying to point out, from a journalistic standpoint, that it was odd they made no mention of anything to do with blockchain / DLT. Seriously, I feel like one of the most damaging things to the space as a whole is that it's almost impossible to find a level-headed conversation about it.
