Interesting that blockchain is not mentioned at all. Is it past its hype cycle?

  Blockchain isn't new at this point.

  Blockchain is a net negative for the world. The emissions it enables through the reckless waste of power does not outweigh the currently limited benefits.

    Very much like ITER's fusion reactor, not worth it, right?

      What a bizarre comment. If ITER is successful then it will be the saving grace of humanity. Being able to have a limitless, emission free source of power will bring hundreds of millions out of poverty and help prevent climate change. What humanity sized problem is Blockchain solving ? It's maybe a better payment system, maybe a better data storage approach, maybe a better contract mechanism. That's all. Not guaranteed. Just maybe.
