I mean, it’s great if crypto makes more people think about these questions, even if it’s not the answer. OTOH we’re also seeing it mess up problems for which perfectly valid solutions already exist. In Germany a couple “digital government” projects had a pretty bad start because they used blockchains where they likely didn’t have to.

However there is also the opportunity cost of this which is quite significant. Imagine the benefits we could accrue from humanity if we had put all this talent, capital and energy into a significant human problem? Obviously I'm being hypothetical because there is no way to coalesce efforts on that scale without self interest at the heart of it.
