I’m close to some aid workers in this part of the world. There appear to be a bunch of wide-eyed technologists desperate to foist blockchain on the whole crisis, from recording health records to this. That the “Rohingya are turning to it” rather than a few people are Really Excited About Blockchain is not well supported.

Sadly, the history of people faced with difficult, complex problems turning to opportunistc 'one weird trick' quacks out of desperation is long and depressing.
