Ah! I keep hearing people talking about blockchain and supply chain and it makes zero sense to me. So we agree that this is bullshit?

Cryptocurrency and proof of work/stake and automated conteacts make no sense in the context of the supply chain.

A distributed database ("ledger") might make sense in the context of supply chains.

The competing technology is to have a central clearinghouse for the relevant data. Or to just not track the data at all.

Part bullshit. I'd say the jury is still out.
