@thomasfuchs I think there's also a bias toward new shiny things, and it's easy to mistake something interesting for something useful and important.

I think the blockchain is fascinating, as math, as a concept. I also see no use case, thus far, where it serves any practical purpose that wouldn't be better served by a traditional, centralized database. It seems hard for some people to accept that both things can be true, that a new technology can be fascinating *and* completely impractical.
