not to sound moronic, but the news cycles on cryptocurrencies is funny to watch

a nice stream of useless hyperbolic and very well timed pieces

on a more serious note, who thinks distributed supply chain management could really help things on large scale ? (supposedly free, consistent, 24/7 tracking of items and data) I see so much friction for that in companies .. it made me wonder.

> distributed supply chain management

This is already its own industry. Lots of big companies have bought into the blockchain aspect of it.

Unfortunately I can't give you any names. I just know a few select friends of mine quite literally never shut up about it.

I just know it exists.

and based on your info, do you think:

1) it's 90% fad ?

2) it does improve the existing ?

3) do you think the broad principles can reach other parts of society (I do, but I'm not connected to anybody in the industry.. I should though)

I don't really know, to be honest. I haven't done much research on it. But I know the types of people that talk about it have little authority on the subject, so by that metric I'm not a fan.

But I could be wrong.
