Is it interesting though? People put to forefront that it is distributed, but I think that being distributed is a secondary attribute (after all you can run this software solo). Mainly it is immutable and public. Immutable public database - is it that much interesting? And for what exactly? I don't see many possible applications, even for government since they all come with multiple cases against this tech - e.g. voting on blockchain, cool, now it is very hard to falsify voting but it comes with a neat option to harass and discriminate people afterwards since blockchain is public. And so on.
