I'm just addressing the misconception re: Moxie's apparent position.
My personal opinion is that the internet solved problems from day 1 and its growth was largely constrained by the deployment of physical infrastructure. Blockchain is not similarly constrained - it just doesn't really, you know, do anything for anyone. The proof will be in the pudding.
Look at the history of the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet
The use of technologies is not always obvious or immediately successful.
