Peer to peer tech isn’t exclusive to cryptocurrency shenanigans. Neither is cryptography. I don’t hate these technologies. I don’t think they are useless. Quite the opposite. But the cryptocurrency/blockchain “stack” is a solution in search of a problem. I personally believe any good use case for this stack will be so hyper specific you’ll need to pay others to run copies of he ledger so you can have the consensus mechanism. But then you run into privacy issues and are better off duplicating your standard DB to some audited write only instance.
