    Blockchain’s latest uses won’t create overnight billionaires but could bring overdue change to critical (if unsexy) functions in shipping, real estate and... diamondshttp://on.wsj.com/2GdOeN6

        Bitcoin is technology behind blockchain - talking about blockchain without currency makes you sound smart - but it's showing no real understanding of underlying incentive/econ

        Everyone wants to be an overnight billionaire in the space right now, but people forget the fact that anyone who has made substantial gains has been in for a LONG time. Good projects won't be sexy or cool, they'll be functional and useful in everyday life.

        A private blockchain without bitcoin is just a shared distributed ledger. It’s not innovation and it’s nothing new, has been around forever. Blockchain is just a meaningless buzzword. People writing these article are idiots. Please stop spreading their infectious stupidity.

        Not many compelling use cases for blockchains outside Bitcoin. Stick to your excel spreadsheets and databases.

        Blockchain without trust is just a database with counterpartyrisk. Bitcoin is trustless with no counterpartyrisk. If you want to be sure its accurate, you need to build only BTC No Bitcoin, no "blockchain". Bitcoin is the innovation...

        The real reason why Bitcoin has been tanking the last couple of weeks. Smart researchers found out Bitcoin was created by an artificial intelligence. Nobody knows what the end game is here:http://bit.ly/2HH5yuf

        Blockchain today is like dialup internet 25 years ago. Complex, energy consuming, and chaotic with too many points of contact,too many moving parts, and too labor intensive to use. Until it becomes elegantly organized, it will remain a side bet for suckers.

        All these other uses of blockchains rely on trust, which means blockchain is entirely pointless for them - a database tracking system is just as useful.

        If I sold my house and mistakingly gave the deed to my neighbour, using blockchain tech , I would not be able to reverse it. The only use case I see, is for online voting systems.
