There's a news cycle to the blockchain that everyone wants to be a part of to appear smart whether they know anything about a topic or not. Notice how the majority of critics never talk about any deep use-cases for the technology and instead choose to make up that it's only ever used by criminals. This is because they don't actually know anything about the technology. It's just more status signalling for clicks mixed together with a bunch of regurgitated arguments made a million times before. Enjoy the traffic bump op before fading back into obscurity. Meanwhile, the countless people in the know who actually matter are going to keep building on this "failing" technology.
