I remember just 30 years ago Clifford Stoll's "The Cuckoos Egg", in which a 75c accounting discrepancy leads to the discovery of the first logged computer intrusion. Today, state-sponsored cyberattacks take down @Maersk just for fun while doing $10B in damage.https://twitter.com/a_greenberg/status/1032238484428390400 …
So I wonder: What if instead of thinking blockchain is about money, we view it as a more general realization of the need to shrink attack surfaces in a connected, adversarial world. Bitcoin (patching money to fix the fiat exploit) is just this mindset's first product.
Future products probably won't be about money (the fiat exploit doesn't need 100 different fixes), but will share similar properties: using transparent consensus mechanisms to secure valuable resources that are currently being exploited.
Many others have enumerated those possibilities, this is just another angle on characterizing them, one that's in some ways maximalist (BTC/PoW=money), in some ways not (many future non-money uses). Inspired by @NickSzabo4 @real_vijay @balajis and especially...
