Something I hate about the business side of the tech world: the fad-chasing.

From the article:

> I hear these days for you to close that funding round quickly and early enough, you must throw in “Blockchain” even if it has no relevance in the grand scheme of things. A while ago, it was Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Right on. No, blockchain won't help you with your corrupt voting system. If you don't understand the technology, you can't reason about its applicability, and there are more buzzword-chasers than serious technologists.
