Don't fall for the blockchain hype...really what's it do a decent encrypted database doesn't? Are there some industries that might benefit from a string of data stuck in a ledger humans can't read? Maybe...but I just can't make it tonight.

Would like to go and learn but as you listen ask yourself where are the actual in the wild use cases.

Is this is the most resilient approach? Can we access this data 20, 30, 300 years from now? What about energy? Do I need to use this many resources to save a simple text file?
