Cool tech doesn't become the next "big thing" just because it's cool.

Decentralised tech doesn't win just because it's decentralised (centralisation has a lot of advantage when it comes to easy of use and implementation)

What real business or personal problems does blockchain solve that alternatives don't? Few
