I think we're in agreement here but I want to be clear.
I'm talking about blockchain explorers. Use of the actual networks and technology. Trading on crypto exchanges does not utilize blockchain in any fashion.
Given that this is HN I would think the focus would lean towards the underlying technology. That said one of the things I appreciate about HN is the wealth of knowledge and conversation about things other than technology.
I suppose there's a valid debate to be had in terms of what constitutes "use" but my focus and emphasis on actual network activity as seen in blockchain explorers refers to use of the network/technology/blockchain for some purpose. I don't care what that use/purpose is as long as it actually uses the technology (which is on network and reflected in explorers).
As we both acknowledge, blockchain explorers representing the reality of blockchain network activity provide an abysmal view of the adoption of that technology relative to historical technology platforms 13 years after release.
