Well over 1B people remains unbanked, either excluded from banking or due to non intentional accessibility issues. That alone means crypto may be a solution to a signicant issue so many are having. Would that be enough?

Even among the banked, and in the very developed world, the traditional system has caused the loss of people' life long savings, loss of the ability to even continue business operations, that day someone in a centralised office decided it was OK to unilateraly freeze their accounts without notice (the many reporting their anecdotes but somehow rarely making mainstream news), or even the sudden withdrawal of the funds for dubious or faulty reasons (Greece, and other countries which faced economical turmoils and saw even democratically elected administrations basically steal people's money to recover from their own mismanagement flaws).

If you aren't impacted by any of the freedom and justice proven serious freedom and justice infringements listed above, which sometimes put people in life threatening positions, at least of financial tremendous distress, then Good for you! If you don't see any benefit in adopting blockchain technologies in your day to day life, fine! It will come around. And for now, billions would disagree with your perspective.

On PostgresQL, amazing solution,my favorite RDBS I think. Worth pointing out the main original author of this software was/is a hero in the fight against system oppression, he would probably have to say that PostgressQL is a beautiful solution for what it solves, and that blockchain is a revolution pending to solve many other issues, if only he could have access to this thread and not be inhumainly restrained in jail for many years with very questionable treatment, decided by the same clique of tyrants who sold us the banking system we still have today.
