There is one general rule for human relationships that I love to follow and I think it could make your life better too.

If a person believes the solution to the complexe problems du jour is **blockchain** run, baby, run as fast as you can. Burn all communications, move somewhere far away and never talk to them again.

@giuseppedc Thanks 👍 this is useless but better than pretending to care and wasting my time.

@[email protected] I just made a list of six use cases for #blockchain in #bizhumanrights and am wondering if I missed any: https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/zf793g/cardano_traceability_solutions_and_duediligence/

@grabosch no, sir. It was inspired by, and is, a running joke in a group chat - I hadn’t seen your toot.

@giuseppedc Oh well, good timing!

@grabosch I was not aware of your thread - if you are so interested in the origin of my joke, I am posting the triggering fact here 😉 I hope you find it as funny as I do 🫢

@giuseppedc I see... yeah, this is more sad than funny actually, they are wasting a lot of resources on some VCs who are promising them heaven on earth with bizarre tech lingo nobody understands, least themselves.

@grabosch i agree! Btw I have nothing against blockchain itself, it can be a useful tech. But some people and orgs see it as the magical solution to such a varied range of problems that it becomes ridiculous.

Any kind of one-shot, techno-fix to complex problems should raise suspicion in my opinion.

@giuseppedc I think it's like the internet in the mid 90s. Some people got all lost in utopian or dystopian sci-fi dreams, and others like Paul Krugman claimed the internet would turn out no more important for the economy than the fax machine. It took the internet 20 years until ppl started taking it seriously, so blockchain really still is very young.
