Kinda funny your last sentence, as personally for me, hearing an engineer say they don't believe in blockchain tech makes me devalue your opinion.

Hah, I'm the opposite.

Money is an economics and societal problem (it's about trust, isn't it, trust that pieces of paper with numbers on them are worth something), not a tech problem, so software engineering expertise alone isn't enough. IMO.

We’ve endured a decade of speculation on how it would change everything and the most apparent use case today is digital baseball cards. Forgive me if I’m cynical about it.
