Is Blockchain the biggest scam of this era?
- Investors are throwing money at it like it's the next Internet
- Most non-tech "blockchain-experts" couldn't tell you in 30 minutes what exactly is blockchain and how it works
- Most tech "blockchain experts" aren't actually working on the blockchain itself, but rather on very ordinary boilerplate
- Most blockchain startups appear to be pump-and-dump operations trying to use blockchain for something that doesn't really benefit from blockchain, and then getting the company off their hands before people realize that there's no market for it
The hype is real. The tech is not.

Do you realize there's millions involved in drug businesses on dark net markets? That's reason enough to make it worthwhile.

My post has nothing to do with cryptocurrency.
But it is sorta the next internet. The DAOs I mean. And we already had the same tech bubble in the 90s with all the pump-and-dump operations.

there's a billion youtube videos explaining what blockchains are and how they work and they are well under 30 minutes long...

I was referring to people that label themselves as blockchain experts but don't actually work in tech.

You might as well be referring to leprechauns and unicorns, doesn't fucking mean that blockchains are a meme.
