What a load of crap. Normally I feel more inclined to give thoughtful dialogue in response to critique, but this article was so ill-conceived in argument that the author had to narrowly define blockchain and it’s uses to make his point, and then went as far as to claim nobody has a real use case that only blockchain can solve. How incredibly naive, and so willing to discard any potential idea (despite actual, proven use cases). His privilege shows too — to argue that a war torn region can’t use technology. Has he seen how cellphones have become the de facto credit card in parts of Africa which are too remote for banking infrastructure? Articles like these read like NoSQL naysayers when it first broke out into the developer ecosystem. It’s easy to be a critic.

Engineers are trained to look critically at proposed solutions. It's much harder to imagine where the future lays. I personally see crypto as just another extension of software eating the world.
