it's happened before that the people / community / culture of a thing had more to do with its success / failure than the technology itself. VHS/betamax, for instance. imo, blockchain as we know it today can't survive the wilding of these platforms, the stories around the cretins and thieves involved. it'll have to evolve to something that doesn't resemble "blockchain" as we talk about it today (cloud versus devops versus sysadmins, etc). a new keystone of this technology will have to carry it far away and make it kind of different for this to be the thing we're still talking about 10 years from now.
