Blockchain For Grown-Ups: Cutting Through the Hype Wealth and income disparity have more to do with power disparity than a new fangled database. Blockchain For Grown-Ups, Part 2: What's Real? Incumbent financial institutions aren’t at risk of obsolescence any time soon. blockchain ledgers now are a shadow of the sweepingly different ecosystems they promise. The gap exposes the marketplace dynamics, power structures and systemic inadequacies that are concealed, or taken for granted, in current commerce.

Growing scepticism challenges the blockchain hype Yet executives at blockchain-investing companies have rarely been able to explain what it was that blockchain would be enhancing in their businesses or why. “You’ll have to ask my tech associate,” has been the invariable answer. When asked what makes blockchain so exceptionally useful, the answers ranged in nature from “it’s a compression algorithm, and makes data storage cheaper” to “it enhances security and can’t be hacked”.
Neither assertion is strictly accurate. But the confidence demonstrates the scale of mythmaking in the industry Gartner Hype Cycle

The problem is “by adapting DLT in this way, you move further away from the principles for which it was originally designed”. And if that is the case, why bother?

Blockchain Man and Woman will have to wait Companies are not ready for them Legal and confidentiality issues are the two biggest obstacles to adoption of distributed ledger technology, says a survey by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance. In time, innovation and regulation may help break them down. But there are good reasons why Organization Man, and the organisation itself, will continue to survive behind the third obstacle the survey identified: “Reluctance to change established business processes.”
