While these 3 things are quite old, the blending of these technologies -- to create censorship resistant, trustless, eternal, decentralized peer to peer ledger that cannot be altered is actually quite new and interesting. It shifts the entire power model from authorities to the users. Revolutionary!

If you really believe it is not interesting, that is fine too! The technology is opt-in and voluntary. You can throw as many rocks all you like.
