Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about?
spongebue@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoHold up, I’m not trying to talk about crypto, certainly not in a wall of text. You said the distributed ledger has its uses outside of crypto and gave some examples. If those examples were truly clamoring for some kind of distributed ledger solution, why haven’t they implemented it by now? I can’t imagine crypto distracted that much to make it impossible, there must be another reason.

The old wall of text so im going to dismiss all you said. Im not saying crypto distracted im saying it is unfortunately the thing that got taken up. Like the use of fossil fuels in our society. The answer is things aren't always done in the best way. Its like saying if algorithms are so bad why don't people stop using them. There are many bad things that we do that we don't stop doing and many good things we don't bother to do espcially when looking at things with larger and larger groups up to the scale of humanity.
