Ironic that such a power-hungry technology be used in dealing with natural disasters. If anything, it's just contributing to global warming. Can we please stop pretending that everything on Earth needs a blockchain?
- roro159 7y agoBlockchain != PoW. There are plenty of blockchains without the problems you described (like IBM's Hyperledger).
- dillonmckay 7y agoAlso blockchain != distributed.
- dralley 7y agoSome of the supply chain applications are interesting because it's more corruption resistant. As a currency (and a lot of other hyped applications), I agree with you, almost totally useless.
