> Ok but I do understand it, I also understand how cool the concept of the blockchain is _but_ real application of the blockchain outside of crypto is practically non-existent or could be better served by not using a blockchain.

I don't disagree with you here, I think the by far biggest use case is money/currency. I'm just commenting on how people here hate on anything related to crypto without any understanding.

> As for snarky comments about “I thought crypto was decentralized”. Yes it’s snarky but it’s a totally valid criticism.

I disagree here. It's like saying "SMTP sucks because I got scammed by an email from a Nigerian prince" - The criticism that wallets are hard to use is valid, but people on HN commenting on these threads don't even understand that. They just hate crypto for whatever reason without any understanding.
