Here’s why it’s interesting to me. Forget about cryptocurrencies, we probably feel the same way about all that. If you want to run a database to store whatever, the person/entity running the database has superpowers: they can alter the data, take down the whole thing, etc. Blockchain is a database where no single person/entity has privileged access. That’s it. As a distributed system person this is cool. Everyone else might shrug. I’m ok with that. This is a new paradigm and opens new possibilities. Remains to be seen what we do with it.
