I don't agree with the "blockchain as a solution to every problem" crowd, but if the blockchain is going to lead to an increase in development and usage of decentralised (not just p2p, but federated, self-hosted etc.) solutions then I say, go for it!
I think the current level of centralisation is not far off from what Tim Wu warns us against in "The Master Switch" [1] and if it's going to take a hip word like the "blockchain" to popularise decentralisation, so be it. I'll take what I can get at this point.
