I've been thinking about this a lot from a FOSS-advocacy perspective. Crypto people *love* to talk Free Software language and take up all the air in discussions of digital sovereignity. We have built up our bullshit filters and can tell, but the general public often can't.

I've been thinking about punchy counter-arguments to crypto stuff, this is what I came up with so far:
#1 The people who added "mistrust authorities, promote decentralization" to the hacker ethic were talking about having the hardware they needed in their basements, not in shady server centers in Kazakhstan.
#2 Blockchain is just a new way of doing centralized databases. Just replace <fancy new chain> with "SAP" in your head, and see if it still sounds appealing.
