Which makes it look like blockchain is a solution looking for a problem.

I still believe that problem will come up, and/or we'll see technologies that borrow concepts from blockchain without being true "blockchain."

The problem exists for ages, from a libertarian point of view: the govs as oppressing power and the tax as a "legalised" theft mechanism to sustain only a few in power. And all related issues that come from it: corruption, lack of transparency and bureaucracy to name only a few.

The blockchain comes as the refactoring of this legacy system.
