Not really.

NIST has a good blockchain explainer with a handy flowchart that has questions you should ask to see if blockchain is a useful solution:

* PNG flowchart: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/enhanced-distribut...

* https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/enhanced-distributed-ledger-t...

* https://www.nist.gov/blockchain

And other things are probably a better fit for the majority of people's needs.

Stats mean nothing when I use it every month for my savings and salary. As many people already do. I can also send money between countries very easily and cheap.

I understand this can be just as easily done with banking system in more developed countries but blockchain is much better other parts of the world
