It always makes me think of that STTNG episode where they destroy the Borg collective by injecting a fascinating but impossible geometry problem. Cryptocurrency basically did that to the hacker and startup spheres, wasting unfathomable amounts of money, resources, and brain power.

Do you honestly believe, and this is a real question, that all of these brilliant people who come from well known companies spend nearly a decade of their life working tirelessly on building an ecosystem that many thousands of other developers interact with daily, just haven't realized yet that it's completely useless?

There are complex developed pseudo-sciences filled with serious people too deep and stubborn and too invested and too old to start over - so they continue, creating a masterpiece of fiction that carries too many fools to ever end. Religions, pseudo-sciences, short sighted and impossible political ideologies are rampant today and have been throughout human history. Of course I believe it is a sham.
