I think you did a pretty good job trying to challenge him where you could. As with most people, it's sometimes hard to understand the specific question and always reverting back to their original perspective (thinking fast and slow will help understand that).I think the jump to other applications beyond a public ledger that is used to transfer value is still extremely unexplored, which you pushed him very well on. The fundamental difference I think most people have though is that it I think it is the job of the government to ensure that the public can hash and hold Bitcoin, enabling us to prosper, rather than the job of the government to be holding Bitcoin and hashing which I think is more about them accruing power. Even if that power is being accumulated "for good" because it could become another way for them to exploit the people and one that isn't necessary for people to be prosperous.
I did enjoy the book though and intend to reach out to Jaosn to help him sharpen his agrument.
