"Serious white-washing" is quite misleading. I only responded to a comment to point out that you and others are completely ignoring some obvious and important benefits.
Sure, there are disadvantages. I'm not going to disagree with them, they exist, but let's put them in perspective with how the rest of the world works. But include the real benefits as part of the context.
If you ignore those benefits, and pretend they don't exist, you will end up getting dismissed by those of us who figured everything out, and invested in it.
You should keep in mind that those of us who invest in it are not in any way "stuck with a bag", we can sell at any time if we thought your arguments were convincing enough. The fact is, despite reading plenty of these arguments, we still actually believe it will ultimately succeed, and have yet to see convincing enough arguments against it.
On the other hand, those who missed out have a very strong tendency to want the world to adjust in ways that make their decisions correct. There is a lot of pain in admitting that you were wrong and paying the cost (which would be investing in it), and a lot of aversion to feeling like you have to make that choice. Believe me, I know this is a thing, because I went through that process myself.
