1994: “the internet means there’ll be no more governments!” 2018: “blockchain means there’ll be no more governments!” Both nonsense, yes. But the internet still turned out to be pretty important, and it was partly because of the things that prompted people to talk like that.

This argument by analogy is unconvincing because comparing distributed ledger technology to IoT is like comparing TCP/IP to the iPhone. Do you have a first principles argument to root the discussion? :)

I'm just saying that not everything that gets heralded as the next internet turns out to be the next internet. Sometimes there's signal in the hype, sometimes the hype is a collective delusion. It's problem-solving and value-added, not hype, that should drive tech
