  I can't tell if the flowchart is a joke, but I enjoy how 5 out of 6 answers (with the 6th being... email lol) recommends using a database.

    Here is the actual report below, it says the flow chart is actually from a DHS report https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8202/final https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8202/final edit: you can see that if you look at the bottom of the imgur picture as well

  Seems very reasonable to me. It captures what blockchains provide over a more typical database-backed solution. It turns out though, that not many problems need their solutions to have all of these qualities, making blockchains largely a solution in search of a problem.
