I think your viewpoint is perfectly rational and healthy. Be very skeptical but willing to let others do their thing and possibly build something that can prove their worth to you over time, or not. The outright hatred, attempting to ban, and not even being open to potential use cases (especially if it's not directly useful to them, then it therefore must be useless to all people) that's present in so many people's comments on here gets very tiring. I expect the hatred from other sites, but here is supposed to be about showing off or discussing the potential for new and weird and possibly not yet proven tech, or at least it seemed that way for just about everything other than crypto on here. The number of software projects I've been hired to work on in the corporate and startup world that ended up getting completely scrapped before release or failed to get traction once released and then quietly died within six months -- resulting in me feeling like my company wasted a lot of time and other people's money -- is probably more of my professional career than not at this point. But if the crypto world has any of that, it's therefore useless and evil and must be eliminated.
