Most people who are even a little bit serious about working/investing in crypto, are well aware of this and have been saying this for the past few years.

Inb4 "you're not investing, you're speculating/gambling". I'm aware.

Inb4 "blockchain is a slower database". Again, I'm aware.

Not really sure how you can back up this claim. After hundreds of interacts with blockchain enthusiasts, I have observed that most of them subscribe to at least one of false use cases listed in the article, especially #7 and very often #1-3 and #6 as well.

Anyone can call themselves a "blockchain enthusiast" that doesn't mean they're smart or know what they're doing.

Examples of good thinkers are the guys over at multicoin capital, a crypto focused hedge fund: https://multicoin.capital

I don't agree with everything they invest in, but they have clear, logical theses

No true scots..erm. No true blockchain expert?

Every enthusiast has their own ideas about what qualifies as "knowing what you're doing". Nobody in the enthusiast community can agree on any of it.
