I am using it in the latter way.

However many of the things people rely on it for were not possible without blockchain technology. Hundreds of millions of people in Turkey, Argentina, etc. now have access to a financial product that was previously impossible.

If a person owns a cryptocurrency or any asset or object (eg an NFT) then they are relying on a blockchain (whether or not they are interacting with it daily).

a thing bsky seems to have going for it is that there are a lot of people who are wrong about things on it

is it really that unrealistic that people could form ideological preferences about tech architectures over time, as we do with everything else?

If people donโ€™t understand why the architecture matters, they wonโ€™t choose the thing that long term achieves their preferences
