This is like arguing that TLS is stupid because you could just use a properly secure fiber cable.

- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoFrom the article: > Before blockchain, a transaction took, on average, two phone calls and four emails to arrange, and two days to close. The sale of larger parts such as engines could take weeks of sending quotes and exchanging documentation. With blockchain, a buyer can locate a part and purchase it immediately. I still see no reason that can't be solved with a website and a database, and I'd be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that's 90% of what it's actually doing, with perhaps some sort of blockchain tacked on to the side so it can get a good marketing story.
