The first thing I always say is, “Tell me a use that isn't just broad-brush aspirational blather [like], ‘Hey, this is gonna make it so that when you buy your house, it's instantaneous. This is going to make it so that when you make a credit card transaction, it'll be safer than ever before.’”
They just throw out anything. They say it's about financial inclusion, which is the worst of all — that it's going to solve the problem of the unbanked. That's how they loop people in. So what I say to them is, “Tell me a use.” Don’t tell me this is here to stay, just because a lot of criminals have begun using it and a lot of venture capitalists have gotten rich investing in it. Tell me why it's worth it.
