The detractors have already made up their mind. I count myself as one of them in the wider space because I'm pretty much a BTC maxi, but the same applies there.

I mean, Bitcoin has been running for 12 years and there's been, as far as I know, one hiccup (the 2010 overflow bug, before it was worth really anything at all, that was fixed by miners simply abandoning that chain). Yet it's "died" about a trillion times in the media.
It doesn't matter if it works, it doesn't work _for them_.
