It does affect crypto-people, as the cryptoids rely upon a faith that the real world will make use of their implementations of "proof-of-ownership" and their implementations of "currency." They are seeking to change the tide of opinion and establish the blockchain as a legitimate replacement for existing currency, titles, deeds, and whatnot. People who keep trying to "own" them are not simply pedantic, they are often working counter to the legitimization of crypto, and that actually affects the bottom line and earnings potential for the cryptoids, as they get fewer people to bother funneling money in to the project (and often spur former adopters to leave crypto).

If you want to discuss pedantic, try listening to a crypto dork explain why their altcoin is going to disrupt the whole world and why metaverse nft booty shorts with banana cats are more important than your uncle's insulin. If you think the twitter nerds are being too online and out-of-touch in their dunking on NFTs, try traversing in the crypto circles who think The Matrix is a utopia.
