This is the TL;DR for me. Perhaps a lot of this will evolve and we’ll end up with some fantastic technologies that are truly revolutionary.
But, a lot of us are pretty jaded by “blockchain is a game changer” with no tangible evidence beyond BTC as a highly unstable store of value and claims of some great future state.

A highly volatile asset, specially one whose market price halves overnight without much surprise, does not serve the purpose of a store of value. I mean, this week alone Bitcoin dropped around 10%, and around 25% during the past month. This is not value being stored. If an asset manager lost 25% of it's wallet in a month they'd be out of a job.
