We sound quite similar. I also accidentally ended up working in this space a few months ago and started off incredibly cynical (my first meeting telling everyone there I don't think there are any useful applications relevant to the business whatsoever). Looks like I went one way (getting out and doing something else) and you stuck around :-) I hope you are right and the technology is actually useful for humanity. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. I conjecture that blockchains have no applications beyond cryptocurrency. I hope someone can give me a very simple counterexample. I've seen blockchains for the music industry, for porn, for university, for bananas in Laos, for weed, for voting, for "supply chain" something or other. I've never seen an application explained simply that makes sense. I am highly skeptical of the field.
