I think the fetishization of blockchain technology demonstrates that most of its proponents don't understand the Internet. The Internet isn't powered by mere ownership claims but by the ability to distribute content with little effort by its users. To augment enclosure of the "digital commons" is going to make the Internet worse off than it ever has been. The more they try to monetize and commodify computing technology the more they just reinvent what already existed and diminish both the established forms and the new ones.
