I am convinced most blockchain startups are solutions looking for problems. Yes, there are exceptions... Maybe this person is involved with one them?

There are exceptions or there could hypothetically be exceptions one day?

I agree with the latter

If the former, please provide examples. I am all ears

I was thinking more of the latter. I'd be interested in hearing more details on the company...

Yeah. "Promising" and "Blockchain" won't work in one sentence in this context.

Yes, at some point over 90% of blockchain companies had lots of talk and less to show for it. Without getting into too much details, this company is not one of them (according to many articles and observations of other people..not my subjective thinking alone).

Well yeah, I've read that so often now, it has just become part of the bubble.
