I'm a software engineer, I understand the blockchain and crypto. I've been around Bitcoin since 2010.
And yet I still don't know a single high utility use case for the blockchain. People keep saying it's the future but I can't really figure out how regular banking, accounting, or general software applications can't do the same basic task as one on the blockchain - but quicker and at a lower cost.
For a moment, forget about the "so we can track things forever" and "not based on trust" - those are more ideological than anything. Why should I use the blockchain right now?
