I get the joke „do you really need a blockchain?“ and sure there is a lot of „AirBnB on a Blockchain“ types out there that do not offer a real advantage over a centralized solution.
But why not embrace all the money (and talent) flowing into this space through the hype and let natural selection run its course to leave us with some great tech that really leverages blockchain technology?

Throwing resources at something usually results in improvements but it still doesn’t mean that it’s solving a problem many people have or that it’s competitive with alternatives which are inherently easier. eInk might be a good example: despite a lot of interest and investment, it’s still a niche product despite having made big advances from where it was in the 90s because competing technologies had fewer hard challenges.
