Comment on Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ?

IMHO technically speaking the concpt of a Blockchain and decentralized zero trust computing like in Ethereum are indeed "interesting" as concepts.
But in practice there are a ton of issues with current implementations and it's likely not going to be used on a large scale because zero-trust doesn't scale well.

It was “interesting” 15 fucking years ago when it came out and we didn’t know what it could (or couldn’t) do.
15 years later, no one has come up with an application, so I think we can stop pretending that there’s a solution here. We’re now into “just 5 more years” to figure out a good use of this thing, and no one is any closer to an answer.
