The thing is I’ve never seen a compelling and novel use for blockchain. Everyone and their dog has some shiny presentation for how they’ll use the tech, but no one and I literally mean - no one - who I’ve talked to about it has an answer for the question “how is blockchain solving a problem that is currently unsolvable with other tech?” Don’t get me wrong, the idea of decentralized anything is cool to me. I’d love for it to be an avenue for reclaiming sovereignty or privacy or whatever else. I just have yet to see it actually solve a new problem. And switching from the way things are to using blockchain “just cuz” isn’t really a step forward imho. It’s a step sideways, where now we have a different backend but in the end nothing has improved. I’d be happy to hear novel solutions blockchain provides :)
