> It doesn't feel like blockchain at all. Blockchain is probably the most useless technology ever invented (unless you're a criminal or an influencer who makes ungodly amounts of money off of suckers).
Given the prevailing trend of virtually all modern governments in the developed world that seems to be rather short-sighted. Who knows, if you won't be made a criminal for dissenting? Or for trying to keep your communication private?
Honestly, "only useful for crime" is the only part of blockchain that I like. What I don't like is the energy use of PoW, the centralization tendencies of PoS, and the general unusability of any existing coins as either a medium of exchange or a store of value. I'd love an anonymous digital cash that didn't boil the oceans, enrich oligarchs, or encourage speculation. It's just that blockchain cryptocurrencies are not that.
