I used to be a reluctant #blockchain enthusiast. After a few years of failing to see any of the potential benefits materialize, I have to admit I was wrong and the critics were right.

If you want a decentralized cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin (a very big “if” indeed), a blockchain remains the only mature approach. But apart from questioning that as a thing worth pursuing, I have seen absolutely 0 successful applications of that approach anywhere.

Every attempt to make it work made it to prototype/pilot status at best, and in each and every case, a centralized solution ended up being the better option. I’m late, but to me, too, the #blockchain hype is over.

Worth to watch: youtube.com/watch?v=cvROzVEA… One of videos that could light a few bulbs but honestly there is a lot more... Don't give up, keep digging. I can also offer 1 - 2 hours of my time (via video chat) to try to convenience you back.

The hype is over. It is still a very interesting and evolving technology in search of viable use cases that benefit from a decentralized infrastructure. This search drives innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration, which still attracts me.
