This is nearly entirely my opinion of blockchain.
If you were a logistics company would you rather-
>Total control of fees and servers
>Directly working with companies to solve their problems
or
>Writing something open ended so other companies can develop their own uses
>Get paid with supporting software
>Big cost increase because of miners
I completely understand Bitcoin and currencies. But I think most blockchain is going to be bad for the environment and not needed. Centralized servers are superior for most uses.
