50+ Real-World Blockchain Use Cases
thebitcoin.pub50+ Real-World Blockchain Use Cases that all involve some kind of trusted party thus invalidating the whole point of using a blockchain in the first place. Call me when you have a solution to the Trustless Oracle Problem. Until then just use a fucking database.
There is the ChainLink project that aims to solve the problem of centralized Oracles.
these offer ala carte solutions for bootstrapping a network and aligning economic incentives
you don't need a blockchain or other distributed ledger technology to do it, yet the community built around those DLT projects are much more supportive and more economically aligned and are cheaply acquired
giving advantages over both
- private equity fundraising
- kickstarter style consumer-product fundraising
it doesn't matter if thats an agreeable stance, that is the reality right now. If you don't like it, then a series of tools have to be made to compete, good luck bootstrapping your community around that goal.
The guy who created this is the CEO of "essentia.one", who are listed 4 times on the infographic. Blatant self-promotion. Cringe. https://twitter.com/ZagoMatteoGian/status/100942661434465894...
Some of these seem to weaken the case for blockchain for two reasons:
1. They ultimately require some kind of real world authority. For instance a land registry requires the authority to accept the transaction and then enforce it.
2. They're just using crypto
It would be interesting to see which 3-5 of these applications people think genuinely require the block chain and serve a need.
That's the extreme end of things. It's like saying that no application can ever be decentralized because developers are involved. If you're looking for a perfect system then blockchain doesn't make sense. But in that case the internet doesn't make sense either and we should all go back to pen and paper.
