The thing that struck me is that, besides that deranged sentence, the author comes off as quite reasonable. He said he was an early believer in crypto and blockchains, but he doesn't deny all the crazy bad shit that has gone on with crypto.

So the fact that one of the best examples he can think of to defend the utility of blockchain is this deranged sentence just shows how hard it is for people to give up on things that they've invested a lot of their personal belief in. There is just "no there there", but it will take a long time for folks to realize it.
