My young adult "kids" think blockchain is going to be a thing for recording transactions one day, even if crypto fades like "investing in Beanie Babies" did. LOL

I tell my kids that what we today call "blockchain" is new lipstick on an old pig that we used to call "distributed encryption" in my junior programmer days. I can see a few use cases for it. But if it was going to ever take off and be one of the main ways transactions are recorded, it's had literally decades to catch on and hasn't yet. There's no there there.

“blockchain” is a “solution” looking for a problem to solve ... during its 14 years of existence, the only “problem” it found to solve is what would be the next Tulip Mania Bubble ...

If I wanted to piss some money away I’d rather go to a casino......at least there you can see who’s getting it. 😏
