> Not even the internet was so disrupting as the blockchain technologies will become.

The internet was a paradigm shift for how we communicate. It seems like blockchains are just sort of an opportunity to do things a different way.

From my perspective the main advantage of the blockchain is zero-trust transactions. Everything that can be done on the blockchain can be done easier/better off the blockchain as long as you choose to trust someone.

And currently from my perspective, no one is seriously using a blockchain for anything but speculation.

In your opinion, what makes the blockchain comparable or more influential to the internet?
