The most interesting thing to me about "blockchains" is how the hype train is still limping on, after almost zero actual delivery of anything useful or world-changing. I expect it to continue to lose steam, as all the pupported use-cases turn out (as they all have so far) either to be some sort of impractical techno-utopian dream, an unnecessary complication where a database works just fine (better in fact), or an outright scam.
I am sharing your sentiment but not 100%. My point there was different, and I highlighted that was an irony: now we have a way to interoperate with less friction than banks or other financial institutions thanks to a new infrastructure. This infrastructure could not be a blockchain and can be a better technology based more in typical federations and less on BFT like descentralization.
