Blockchain is a very interesting technical implementation, but there's a gigantic step between being interesting technically and being world-changing. So yes, you'll find interesting applications on the blockchain, but it's not the magical solution that will revolutionize everything. Things like Uniswap are cool, but in the end it's just a currency trader. Helium looks to me like yet another attempt at crowdsourced wireless. I remember Fon from back in 2005, promised to change the communication landscape, and last I heard about them I think they pivoted to just offering WiFi tech to companies.
