For info sharing with suppliers etc, you have systems with trust. Calling each other's APIs with authentication credentials. Old solutions are much better than blockchains there.

I don't disagree entirely. I think there may be some ... I don't want to say completely 'new' benefit to blockchain in this respect, but as it's explored more, there may be some other benefits which go beyond current approaches to info sharing/trust.

I suspect it will end up being more like 'nosql' - appropriate as an adjunct tech to deal with specific use cases, vs a foundational mindset to build everything on top of. But... that's just my own half-coffeed-this-morning thoughts...
