There's too much money at stake to be able to have sensible discussion about it online. We saw the same thing with blockchain. IIRC, someone on the Cryptography list replied to the whitepaper with the critique that the energy use wouldn't be worth the measly number of transactions processed. If it were Bells Labs, that observation would have been followed up with two or three prototypes for fundamentally different decentralized payment designs by now. Instead, it's over a decade later and all we have is a literal strategic reserve of hot air. So I'd give it some time, Steve. :)
