Blockchain has existed for ten years and there's still no killer use case for it. Wake me when someone finally puts it to good use.

- basch 4y ago10 years is nothing. ARPANET was 1969. CYCLADES was 1971. Things take time. It took till 1989 for the web to be proposed on top of it. That took another 4 years to come to fruition. XMLHttpRequest didn’t ship until 1999. That puts the modern web around the year 2000, over 30 years after the internet started. A fundamental rewrite of accounting practices will take even longer. A conversion from double entry to triple entry accounting will take a generation or two. And who knows, something else could pop up instead and solve the same problems, obsoleting it before launch.
