When are we going to admit that blockchain is just a new type of data store, useful for a limited number of use-cases that require certain sorts of irreversible, immutable guarantees across a worldwide network of computational devices? Crypto is cool, in so far as any other new data storage technology is cool. It is not a new world order

It all depends on how large the addressable area is for irreversible, open-access, immutable data is. Right now it looks rather big from my POV.
