> Billions of dollars worth of assets are stored on blockchains.

Nah. As FTT and FTX shows, the marketcap for blockchain tokens means nothing.



I agree, some subset of tokens created on a permissionless blockchain are or will be worthless. In fact, I bet that subset is >99%.

I don't see what your point is.


My point is that the amount of value "stored" in blockchains is manipulated and vastly overstated.


Sure. I agree.

Doesn't change the extremely valuable mathematical properties of blockchains or their set of use-cases.
