What? You said you don't like pride parades and the response was "don't go then". Not everything is for everyone.
Do you want everyone who enjoys pride parades to change them to specifically cater to you?
I'm sorry to hear that. I think at one point in my past, about half my job was tracking down nil dereference errors in Ruby. And probably a quarter was writing tests for things a good type system would catch at compile time.

Huh. I'm a millennial and definitely spent a lot of time online during those years, and this is my first time hearing of this.
Unfortunately, the answer to that doesn't lie in science but in politics.
The only selling point of blockchain is that it's trustless. This becomes a less-useful property when it comes to things in the real world, as you tend to need to trust at least one party.
For example, anything they achieved there with blockchain, they could have achieved with a simple government-run web service and a traditional database.
That is not a use for blockchain.
Say I want to say that I created an image. I could post that image's hash to a block chain, and point to it as something anyone can check.
But you already have to trust me for that to be valuable. So I can just host that hash in any of a myriad of conventional methods that are simpler, more performant, and less wasteful.
I assume you meant trillion and not million for those gdp figures? Even then, they're low.
The Overton window has shifted so far right that basic decency or acknowledging facts is leftist.
