I don't think anyone is denying that there is value in any subset of the following:

* distributed systems * self-replicating systems * Byzantine fault tolerant systems * state machines

The tweets by Pinboard are largely talking about social and societal issues. Both technical and societal issues are important. They are intertwined.

Pinboard ignores the tech because he doesn’t understand it, yet he talks about societal impact without understanding it as well.

This is a blanket, unsupported statement. It isn't persuasive.

> ignores the tech ...

Not true. He doesn't ignore the technology of Bitcoin.

> because he doesn’t understand it

Please show evidence of this. You are not "in his/her/their head", nor is it likely that you've had a conversation where you can assess. It is more likely that Pinboard disagrees with you largely because of value differences.
