If you don't trust your business partner, don't do business with them. If there are problems, contracts and courts decide what to do. There is no need for blockchain.

This is not how the real world works.

When you have large industries with thousands of peering organizations all over the world, you can't just "trust" -- there is, in fact, no metric for trust and no ability to measure trust. That's why the middlemen exist.

This is especially true in finance, healthcare, and other industries where blockchains are being used.
