I'm sorry my comment rubbed some people the wrong way but I think you prove my point. Your point of view is total based on a "gut-feeling" and "I have a hunch", your ignoring the facts that are provided to you.

ICO - literally billions of dollars raised by companies each year. All done on the blockchain.

Defi - 6 billion dollars locked in defi (lending and borrowing) - 10x grown in the last 12 months.

Hundreds of paper have been published - advancing cryptology and Comp. Sci.

> billions of dollars raised by companies each year

That proves nothing. Billions of dollars are wasted every year betting on companies with BS business plans that end up failing.

> Hundreds of paper have been published

That only proves that it is a fashionable subject in Academia. A way for academics to get funding and getting papers published. Nothing else.
