“… it’s not secure, it’s not safe, it’s not reliable, it’s not trustworthy, it’s not even decentralized, it’s not anonymous, it’s helping destroy the planet. I haven’t found one positive use. For blockchain, it was nothing that couldn’t be done better without it.”

If you can't find a use case that it's better than something else you're being disingenuous. Stupid comment.

Even a tennis racquet with no strings is better than one with, at something. Eg being a necklace.

What are you even trying to say? I am still trying to find something actually useful where blockchain is necessary that doesn't spend as much energy as a small country. Every 'explanation' of why I should adopt this tech for my project/business/government/younameit is intransparent as heck. Lots of hot air, especially emanating from all those data centers. Fuck blockchain and AI.

Circumventing banking regulations or embargoes etc.
