Hey. It has legitimate uses. If you find yourself asking, “my database backend is too fast, is there something I could migrate to that would nerf performance?”

Or if you ever want to put a “rolling coal” bumper sticker on your server rack doors.

Blockchain could solve both those problems. For the latter, you will also want a colo in a region that primarily uses coal plants for base load.

Recently I was trapped in a zoom call, and got to hear a blockchain proposal.

After my eyes stopped rolling and I digested pass the BS, and got to what problem they were trying to solve. What they really wanted was an immutable database.

I’m convinced that 99% of blockchain problems could be solved with an immutable database like immudb.
