Blockchain is just a shitty technology and people need to start to realize that it is absolutely useless.

An ecosystem built on top of a entirely rotten core will be rotten.



Blockchains per se are just a signed distributed data structure though. I don't like cryptocurrencies and all the greedy hype. Just wanting to say that blockchains still might be useful data structures for some use cases.

There's some company that publishes a blockchain checksum in a tiny ad in the New York Times every day. I don't remember what they're securing, but that is the method it uses to make sure the code is distributed widely without anyone being able to tamper with it.
