so I was minding my own business working on a project for an enterprise customer in my coworking space in mountain view and this guy starts tapping on my shoulder. I take off my headphones and I ask him "can I help you?", immediately he starts talking about immutable systems of records and how everything about how I write software is going to completely change in the next year. I leaned back in my chair at this point and ask him to explain what he means by that and give him a stereotypical "prove me wrong" type of glare hoping he has something actually useful to tell me. Before I finish my sentence he immediately starts waving his hands around talking about how useless databases are complete shit because you cannot verify the integrity of the data they hold and such and I stopped him and said "wait a minute you could very well provide these guarantees given you apply the corrects ops work to enable it and its behind a proper private network" and at this point he completely loses it and tells me I'm a complete idiot and reveals to me the sacred proof of Vitalk which the shitlords of /biz continually boast about when referring to the value of their ethereum investment. At this point I'm daze and confused I'm not really sure whats in front of me but I take the time to study it closely and begin to understand the value of immutability for even the most mundane things such as proving whether or not he who is named "money skeleton" is still alive (for whatever that is worth to the ethereum project) and it starts to click in my mind what this man is telling me. After he leaves I read the satoshi white paper as if its the bible and I become enamored with the idea of using blockchain for modern computer applications.
/biz/ did I just meet crypto jesus?

No one cares about any of that, it's much to complex for normies tiny brains. Just ride the pumps like the rest of us, kiddo.

Possibly. Since you're still on the launchpad (/biz/), we're all very behind. Let's work hard to catch up.

Sit back and just think about the sheer ignorance of the general population. I'm not talking about your co workers or your friends. I'm talking about the clerk at the gas station, the welfare queens, the wetbacks, the idiot party crowd.
Do you honestly think they care to learn about crypto currencies and how they work? No, they could give a shit. Which is fine, they don't care about how their smartphone operates either, they don't have to. It's user friendly, if crypto ever becomes easier to manage than a bank account you will really see speculation take off. Until then, don't even worry about trying to convince people about Satoshis vision. You will just get glazed over eyes.

well Im not your therapist so just coincide defeat and realize this board is filled with people like myself who have a deep understanding of the technology.
also.. blockchain isn't a game

Blockchain is a game, by definition.
>An active interest or pursuit, likely a competitive activity, in which players contend with each other according to a set of rules.
Across most definitions, competitive nature and adherence to rules set 'game' apart from other terms of play. Which fits blockchain very well.
The term you're looking for is 'not just a game', because you believe there is value beyond its mode of play.
