Ask HN: What benefits does the blockchain provide?

I've heard many people stating blockchain will become ubiquitous over the next few years, but I'm not entirely sure what benefits it provides.

The internet obviously provided companies a way to reach and connect with millions of people from all over the world. AI allows companies to use machines to do tasks once only humans could do. Cloud computing frees companies from the hassle of maintaining physical hardware.

But what does the blockchain offer me if it's really on par with these other innovations?
