It's still incredible to me how pro-blockchain HN is, as evidenced by all the downvoting in this thread. The only use case at this point is decentralized gambling / drug purchasing / Augur / etc, and the technology itself is useless in a variety of different ways (scaling, transaction cost, energy consumption, fraud protection, reversibility, and so on). A similar technology in a different space would be ripped apart here.
