On: Ask HN: What benefits does the blockchain provide?

[gomox]

I'm not sure I follow your point here. Are you adding to what I said or do you disagree in some way?

Both, and yes I quite disagree with you in some fundamental way. They have a specific niche while being severely over hyped.

[gomox → myaso]

I agree that blockchains are overhyped. But I don't think the value of P2P uncensorable money can be overstated in this day and age.

Again I agree ... it is nice to know the option exists but the value of this option isn't static at every point in time or every context -- the mere existence of it creates a certain level of bullshit that needs to be put up with.
