Blockchains are for dark net markets. Everything else is Ponzi pumping.

I work for a huge company where a mouse is the boss. We are looking into blockchains very seriously. (Obviously not speaking for them, just saying.) Since that is the case, I don't think your assessment is correct.

It's kind of funny seeing the development of large companies on blockchain tech. If they don't invest in researching the potential they can be left behind and everyone will criticize them for being against new tech, but if they do invest into researching it, then they're just chasing buzzwords. It's incredibly frustrating to read some of these comments when people speak up about their companies investing in new tech and being shunned for it.

What general problem does your company want to solve that is not possible (or harder) with a traditional system like a central database?

In a way it seems the early adopters and hoarders are rich or are going to be rich and every one else, including people who think even now there's an opportunity and they are going to invest, are going to make that happen.
