There is nothing amazing about being able to run a computer program. That's what computers do. EVM is also not a distributed computing service since every node has to run the same thing. It is slightly interesting watching people try to reinvent high-assurance computing from scratch without doing any research first, but it's not technically interesting.

Actually, the more "interesting" crypto projects are the more likely they are to be a scam using a "courtier's reply" defense.
