There's a strong argument for its actual merits but this particular line of argument isn't convincing.

> The first steam engines were also written off as being less powerful than a horse.

> The first electric motors were written off as being less powerful than steam engines

And the first Segways were written off, the first NFTs were written off, etc.

(in fact, we've seen this same argument for blockchains changing everything real soon now :)

The first segways were written off... and now you have electric scooters on demand on every city of the planet.

The first NFTs were written off... by you and other writter-offers. If you didn't write them off back then and minted some you'd have made a pretty penny by now.

I don't know, I'm not sure those examples strengthen your case.

Electric scooters and Segways are hardly the same thing. Plus, I doubt the Segway came before either the electric scooter(and electric bike).

And that some people made money on NFTs doesn't make them useful. For a brief moment, a lot of people got scammed so others could prosper. Hardly a world changing technology(at least not for the better)

Have you ever thought about where that money came from? Someone had to lose money for someone to get money. You do know that, right?
