Traditional tech innovation was predicated on doing things more efficiently (sometimes orders of magnitude more efficiently) using new technology, thus disrupting incumbents. Blockchain reverses this completely by doing simple things, like changing numbers in a database, for orders of magnitude more computational (energy) cost. Until someone squares this circle I will continue to be skeptical.
