[1/*] Just to clarify, in the hopes of getting less lunacy in my mentions: I am a professional programmer. I have implemented novel hash functions before. I work on server code. I long ago read and completely understand the original BitCoin paper.
So I expect a much more sophisticated answer than that, or crypto people really are as delusional as they sound.

Certainly many will try to convince you that the technology of "blockchain" + a cornucopia of cryptographic primitives are supreme. 2017 ICOs were all about selling that idea & many got very rich with vapour. But the basis is philosophical: hard, sound money and decentralisation.

The philosophy is not the issue. I am on board with the philosophy. What I demand is the argument about why this technology will achieve it, and I don't think people have made that argument convincingly.
