I think blockchain is mismatched with how society operates. With blockchains math is king. If your keys are compromised your screwed. There is no appeal court.

I think blockchain is mismatched with how society operates. With blockchains math is king. If your keys are compromised your screwed. There is no appeal court. You’ve lost your money, domain name or reputation or whatever you had secured on it. That’s not great for a lot of applications. Also it’s just slower and more resource intensive that other data stores. Ever tried to sync the Ethereum blockchain? I couldn’t get it to happen. So there is no clear advantage to using a blockchain.
That said there might be a lot of fun geeky “uses” like creating smart contracts that you share about and use. But the practical problem is the transaction and conversion costs and currency fluctuations make it hard to take that from fun to useful for business.
