Thank you for being in this thread. I felt like I was taking crazy pills with all these other replies. So many people think bitcoin was the first blockchain. And that the paradigm used by crypto is the only type of blockchain there is.
I will never forgive tech bros for making blockchain a buzzword tied exclusively to crypto and NFTs. The amount of lost potential is infuriating
It's become one of my pet peeves.
I have a conspiracy theory that a lot of the anti-cryptocoin stuff that gets posted is an organized disinformation campaign run by some governments and central banks who are particularly threatened by crypto, and that it extends to bad-mouthing any technology related to cryptocoins. I also believe that there are a fair number of secondary internet users who read "crypto bad" and have picked up the messaging because (a) they're kinda pissed they didn't get in on the ground floor, (b) they lost money playing in the markets, (c) because, whether they're self-aware enough to know it or not, people love a good mob mentality, and/or_ (c) because crypto farms really are shitty wastes of resources and are easily villified. I guarantee, however, that not a single one of those people could describe - in even then most general terms - how a blockchain works. Not even at a programmer level, although the programmers who do this are the worst, because they should know better. And this is what infuriates me: "Blockchain is bad!" "Why?" "Because I read it on the interwebs that it causes global warming and is a pyramid scheme!"
Pet peeve.
