Blockchain is a fancy linked list. I don't understand why this religion around a data structure. Atleast if you all want to spiritually devote to something consider the fact we are creating and mass producing logic gates with light and some chemicals.

it's not just a linked-list - it's an immutable linked list which has a consensus protocol that does not require a central trusted party to enforce this consensus. This has some value - one should not dismiss it by reduction to absurdio.

Of course it has value. Still a linked list. Stacks have more value, and I don't see anyone selling me systems cause they use stacks.
