It is really amusing, and a little sad, how desperate people are to "prove" to everyone how amazing this technology is. It's definitely totally not related at all to how much money anyone has at stake, and how much people stand to lose when it fails.
If you look through the history of amazing scientific breakthroughs, I suspect you'll find that the ones that legitimately changed the world didn't require armies of self-proclaimed experts to explain to everyone what the benefit is and what problems it solves. However, when you look through the history of snake oil, boom-and-bust market crashes, and actual Ponzi schemes, that's exactly what you find.
If you want to convince people of cryptocurrencies merit, just go solve some real problems that real people have. The fact that cryptocurrency has been around for so long and no use-case has materialized outside of pump-and-dump get-rich-quick schemes tells you everything you need to know.
