Remember back a few years ago when all these firms were ranting about how blockchain was going to revolutionize human existence in like every industry? And the retort was that there's nothing that blockchain could do that can't be done much more simply and reliably through conventional approaches? Yeah.

You hardly here anything about blockchain now, except how it's used to defraud people.

@lauren if you're not hearing much about blockchain now, perhaps you need more comprehensive information sources?

Because I certainly continue to hear it proposed as a solution to problems people come across, where they want decentralized systems that can provide confidence in records.

Sounds like you used to be tapped into a bunch of silly hype, and now the silly hype has died down. But maybe focus on places that aren't so focused on such hype?
