The Blockchain Bubble Will Pop, What Next?
In all seriousness, what are the advantages Blockchain has over a public SQL database with limited reads and writes that also maintains a public transaction history? Cause when I hear people talk about the problems Blockchains solves (outside of cryptocurrency which is a whole other topic), I don&#x27;t see what advantages Blockchain has over that. A public SQL database isn&#x27;t the most &quot;clean&quot; solution, but it&#x27;ll save everyone a bunch of time and money over the resource intensive blockchain verification process.<p>This idea that centralization is always evil, or that public actors are inherently untrustworthy and we need some mathematical algorithm to verify all interactions between them strikes me as one of those Silicon Valley idiosyncrasies that Silicon Valley haters laugh at.
