I thought you were looking for a sincere response to your point about skeptics, but you're now labelling me as someone who doesn't understand the technology and using that label to discredit my point... but I do understand the technology, as is evidenced by my comment, which you echoed with your own. You're building this conversation on the belief that the problem is technical, i.e: if the hack could have been prevented, then cryptocurrency is legitimate, and Axie Infinity is legitimate, and therefore the skeptics are wrong if you can prove that cryptocurrency could be used in a way to prevent this hack which you can. That's nonsense, though, because the cryptocurrency skeptics (myself included) are not arguing that there are not technical solutions to these hacks, of course there are, better private key protection is a remedy to private key compromise... but that's not the point, at all, and it's disingenuous for you to pretend you defeated the skeptics by pointing it out. Do you know how Axie Infinity works? What it is? Axie Infinity is an insane scheme that is destined to fail and hurt a lot of people along the way. Cryptocurrency skeptics take issue with that predatory behaviour: these hacks are further example of the absurd levels of incompetency and fraud involved in the industry, they're not THE problem. Saying "I'm genuinely curious" doesn't make you genuinely curious if you're not approaching this with a curious mind... it just makes you disingenuous. If you're genuinely curious, you'd at least ingest the key message and respond to it without jumping to an assumption that only you are smart enough to understand very simple technology. Cryptocurrency is neat technology, in the same way sql is neat technology, nosql is neat technology, I think the technology of cryptocurrency is interesting, as do most cryptocurrency skeptics, which is entirely logically consistent because cryptocurrency skepticism is rooted in a disagreement with using a neat technology as the foundation of some half-baked predatory "financial revolution". If you're going to reply to me, please first consider the awful predatory mechanics of Axie Infinity, and address that.
