You've actually answered your own point better than I could, and I say that with respect.
You ask why we speak in parables. The Master himself tells us, in Matthew 13. He spoke in parables for reasons of the Kingdom, of who is given to understand — holy reasons, eternal ones. Not so that we could stretch them to fit a coin, or a company, or a quarterly roadmap.
And that's exactly my point, gently. The Parable of the Ten Virgins is not about "relativity," and it's not about things that "happen naturally on their own." It is about a certainty — the Bridegroom is coming, for sure, and the wise are ready for it. To soften it into "no one can know, it just unfolds" is to make it fit BSV, not to let it mean what it means.
So here is where I'll stand, and I think you'll respect it. I won't measure the things of God by the things of the market, in either direction. I won't use the Bible to win an argument about a blockchain, and I'd gently ask the same of you. Keep the parables for the Kingdom. Keep them holy.
For the blockchain, I only ever asked one earthly thing, and I'll ask it once more, plainly: show me cash, person to person, spent at a shop, today. That question needs no scripture. It just needs an answer.
Build thinkers, not followers.

Perhaps this is why it eludes you—it is not given to everyone to understand. But remember, the Bible also tells us that even the foolish virgins have another chance if they go buy their oil and keep their lamps ready. Keep striving!
Ah, and since you asked for a real-world answer:
