On second thought, fuck it.  I am about ready to repudiate the whole concept of Bitcoin maximalism, if what it gets me is wasting time explaining things to people who don’t want to understand.  People who would have rejected Bitcoin years ago—and probably did...  If I have no patience remaining for people who think that “blockchain” is magic pixie dust they can just sprinkle around as a buzzword, why should I write long, patient explanations for people who don’t think through the problems that blockchains do solve?
