It's worse than that, because not only is most of the effort placed on
blockchain technology, blockchain technology is also being pushed as
the answer to *everything*. Blockchain technology has a place, but it
doesn't make sense everywhere, and when one says, "Wait, let's take a
step back and look at what we really *need* blockchains for, and where
we don't," then one seems a heretic... or at best, quaintly naïve.
What place might that be? I really can't think of any. Maybe you can use
it for buying and selling tulips.
