Hair dryers are far more socially useful than all the cryptoshit we've seen over the past 14 years.

For one, I've yet to see a hairdryer be a critical component of a large-scale swindle.

I realise I'm getting into the 3-level-deep silly semantics of a comparison I don't really care about here (and certainly have no interest in defending that which you poetically label 'cryptoshit'), but if we're going to play Bastardly Inventions comparisons, hairdryers have apparently killed quite a few people over the decades - the cause of many a tragic house fire. Google "hairdryer fire" and you'll be scrolling a looong time.

And how many million$ of cryptoswindle funds would the family of each victim pay, in theory, if they could have their loved one back? How would that overall balance sheet conclude?

I suspect con men pay above average attention to their hair (as well as other aspects of their appearance).

They also probably eat food, but no reasonable person would accuse bologna of having any part of import in your run-of-the-mill fraud.
