I believe many people are against using crypto currencies as an investment opportunity instead of a technology solution.

The primary property of a good currency is stability. The crypto currencies are exactly the opposite.

I like smart contracts but I don't think public/permission-less blockchains are feasible/very useful in the real world. Engaging in a tech and electricity spending race doesn't look like a good way to verify transactions and protect the blockchain against attacks.
