You can ignore the grandiose claims of crypto savants and still accept how its unrivaled cloud development platform is going to continue to attract developers, accept that the entertainment sector is valuable, accept that the collectibles sector is valuable and we just never had transparency into the size of that while reducing friction for some aspects of the collectibles market, that financial services is valuable solely because there are some frictions to solve from people already there, that gambling is valuable, that flash loans are not paralleled by any other platform except the central banks overnight market, and so on. Outside of crypto its still hard to get free live transaction data for your trading algorithm.
None of this needs ideology about the consensus layer or fandom about how transactions are settled with claims of “hard money” thats going to take over the world, but that sentiment does harden it and is intrinsically intertwined. But you can ignore it and still recognize the parts that are valuable, even if there is no value to you.
