I feel like no one outside of our industry actually understands blockchain tech

I've been noticing this for a while: but everyone in tech who doesn't work in the blockchain industry seems to be critical of the tech. Yet when you read their critiques they fail to touch on anything that the tech is being used for.

For example someone could say: 'look at escrow contracts. Why bother with that. It's far cheaper and faster just to use lawyers.' This would be a targeted critique because it would be focusing on something particular to blockchain tech. After-all, you can't take a piece of regular money and write a set of conditions for using it.

What we get instead seems to be cherry picked arguments about bad things that have happened in the crypto industry, generalizations there-of, fallacies, and a complete lack of understanding about what the tech is about (if you want to see how many uninformed people there are look no further than http://concerned.tech/.)

A good case in point is the repeat claim that 'blockchains have no use-cases.' But what this means is the person is fundamentally so uneducated about the tech that they don't even know the basics. Consequently, the only way to address such a person would be to write a huge post starting from the fundamentals of digital property, smart contracts, decentralized [systems, organisations, etc] each time someone makes the claim (which is very impractical.)

I think what we need is for someone to make a post that lists a bunch of use-cases in simple terms, current unique projects in the space [representative there-of], along with the over-all philosophy and goals. Then we can just link to it every time someone posts these misleading claims. Because people are just going to assume that because no one is taking the effort to educate outsiders about the massive amounts of industry-specific knowledge it indicates there is none. These people then go and write article after article and form self-congratulatory echo chambers of ignoramuses.

Anyway, if there are any good technical writers here or bloggers: I think this would be a great thing to write for the community. Just my opinion.

Edit: Some great replies here. I didn't expect this to blow up. Hope you all have a wonderful and productive day.
