Isn't he discussing cryptocurrencies in particular rather than blockchain in general? There are many uses for blockchain other than as a cryptocurrency. Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm not an expert in blockchain by any means.

I'm not sure how that changes the fact that everything he says is either completely untrue or irrelevant. If you want to point out an inaccuracy in what I've said, feel free.

It's a presentation deck. Those are just bullet points, not the arguments you would (presumably) hear in the full presentation.

If you want to talk about something useful you were probably calling it something like a signed/verifiable log.

The original Bitcoin paper is essentially a description of the blockchain.
Finally people are seeing that a blockchain without POW or censorship resistance is bullshit.
This is why bitcoin (cash) is more important than ever.

Did you read through it? I don't think any amount of explanation is going to take arguments that have been thoroughly debunked for year and suddenly make them a reality. If you want to be specific about anything he or I said, feel free.
Could you give one example of an argument made in the deck which has been "thoroughly debunked"?
