Yeah I imagine they probably would.

Maybe do a simple Google search next time? They ARE using it. It's getting a ton of investment from them.

Also it's over three decades. Bitcoin wasn't the first. They just popularized a specific type of blockchain

Rather than resorting to that age-old cry of the cult member "do your own research!" can I respectfully suggest that if you're aiming to change somebody's mind, the onus is on you to provide the evidence, not on them. By all means take hours out of your day to search google and compile a list of things that you think will convince me. Me, personally, I have better things to do with my life.

I didn't ask them to do their own research. I asked that, if they are skeptical of a claim I made, either do a simple Google search to check if it's very easily verifiable, or ask me directly instead of immediately saying "you're wrong because I would have heard of it"

Like, I'm happy to provide citations when requested, but lemmy isn't a scientific journal where I'm expected to provide every source for my information up front
