Finally, of course I'm being extra harsh because for too long too many people have made all sorts of grandiose claims about blockchains which are completely detached from reality. Your writing is much closer to the reality, of course, which is why it's a good place for me to critique. I don't think we need any great stories, just understand the few usecases where blockchains are uniquely good, thanks to strict global consensus, and continue better understanding them and improving them. Indeed, the Ethereum whitepaper did this well a decade ago, and I'd like to see more like that.
