the thing is all this tech could actually be used for something good, but instead its used for the dumbest things and is covered in so much hype everyone ends up hating it
maybe NFTs don't have much of a good use case, but LLMs, big data and blockchains do
You still don’t need a blockchain to track product logistics. This is always gonna be centralised, just use a normal database.
well it can sorta be useful for some things, afaik both the EU and sweden are looking at using similar architecture to make "digital cash".
But like the first step they take is to excise the whole mining bit because the system has inherent trust, so it's less "blockchain" and more "ledger-based distributed database"
