Dan is right, but that aside;
Personally, I do care, but the crypto industry has failed to deliver it, and has chosen a path of plutocracy & corporatocracy. Which is fair enough, as institutional speculation has a 3-4 orders of magnitude larger TAM, and it's more important to pump bags than deliver maximally neutral technology.
On that note, there's a multi-trillion dollar cults built around BTC, ETH et al today, and it's definitely worth targeting that, even if technologically the solutions are suboptimal. Remember, you're invested in a ticker, not your blockchain or its tech, so in usecases where there's better & more appropriate tech than your blockchain available or waiting to be invented, you should embrace it under your banner, instead of dismissing it as "bearish". Blockchains are clearly transitory tech begging for obsolescence by more decentralised, more democratic, more efficient tech.
