Referring me to your article as an answer is not very argumentative, knowing that, as you say yourself, your article is only a simple repost of pre-existing articles or videos. I would have liked to know your subjective point of view about blockchain.

Edit: I would add that after reading some articles you mentionned, it seems clear to me that these are childish arguments. Some of your articles mention the fact that a blockchain is not secure, because anyone can be hacked. It is exactly the same with the current web, knowing that it is even easier to hack them.

Personally, I think that in most cases it's still a solution in search of a problem. I've come across some use cases that do sound interesting and have merit (voting systems being a good one), but all the promising ideas are mostly buried under an avalanche of NFTs and "me too" projects that have blockchains tacked on for no discernible reason other than to ride the hype.
