The old wall of text so im going to dismiss all you said. Im not saying crypto distracted im saying it is unfortunately the thing that got taken up. Like the use of fossil fuels in our society. The answer is things aren't always done in the best way. Its like saying if algorithms are so bad why don't people stop using them. There are many bad things that we do that we don't stop doing and many good things we don't bother to do espcially when looking at things with larger and larger groups up to the scale of humanity.
