So vi vs emacs then. I understand your points (I stayed up to watch the switch from PoW to PoS on my Ethereum nodes as one example) but no one else does, and that's my point. If anything you mentioned offered value other than "trade vs USD" there would be adoption - like oil and consoles. All you have to do is take a quick look at a block explorer, dappradar[0], tokens, etc to discover very quickly no one (0.5% of global internet users - literally) uses any of this stuff other than gambling. Horrible "play to earn" games, NFTs, tokens, DEXes to swap tokens around (more gambling and criminality), etc. The only thing the improved technology of Ethereum has done is continue the "crypto way" of inventing new ways to gamble and scam people. Even the vast majority of people that interact with the space see ETH, BTC, etc as just another trade ticker they denominate value in fiat with. All of these trades operate on an order book in an exchange and has nothing at all to do with the underlying blockchain and whatever supposed differences/advantages/etc the technology has. The entire underlying technology could disappear tomorrow and it would have meaningful impact to an even smaller group of people than your favorite text editor. No actual utility lost.
