Is the Blockchain a perfect solution? Is it flawed? Please Comment below !

Ok we all know that blockchain is the new thing in terms of technology. And if for example, the banking system integrates or used blockchain, it will literally takes years before finally using it. Also, the cost of implementing it should also be taken in consideration. And we also know that every records in the distributed ledger are permanent and its really hard to manipulate the data, but banking systems sometimes has to do reversible transactions, if blockchain can't be manipulated, then how do the banks reverse transactions?
That is why I do not think we are ever going to get full adoption from banks or governments they do not like the idea of not having the power of reversing transactions, I think that is the biggest issue they have, when you open a bank account you are effectively giving all the power to the bank if they decide to freeze your funds you are going to lose all your money, they could even take all your money without your consent, this has happened before and I do not see a reason of why it should not happen in the future.

The whole point of bitcoin was to not get governments and banks on board, but to become your own bank. The fact that bitcoin cannot be regulated is a feature, not a bug, or something that bitcoin users should be looking forward.

A very different thing is if Wall Street investors decide to get in. In that case, they are welcomed. As long as they can't change the protocol, they just become bigger stakeholders that have to avid to the same rules as everyone else.
I agree on that, I'm simply explaining the reasoning for banks and governments to not get behind bitcoin, another reason is that governments love to print their own currency, they have been stealing the hard work of people from a long time with their fiat currencies and their high taxes and bitcoin once again does not let them to do that, so it is not really surprising that governments of the world are not very excited about bitcoin.

I doubt any blockchain-based solution has ever deigned to call itself perfect. From Bitcoin's whitepaper to every other (reputable) one established down the line, from traditional blockchain to so-called third generation blockchain meshes and DAGs, they all acknowledge their limitations and possible issues - just like a proper whitepaper should.

I think as others mention, scalability isn't really a flaw. If anything, to me, it's an indicator of progress and success. If a solution needs to scale, then it's a solution that's achieving aims of adoption and use. In this sense, scalability issues is a necessary marker for further development. The blockchain solutions that purport to improve on Bitcoin's "scalability issue" cannot really provide evidence until it itself experiences the need to scale.

Is the Blockchain a perfect solution? Is it flawed? Please Comment below !

Blockchain technology is/was considered cutting edges and apparently has many potential applications. However, I think we are seeing a flaw or an imperfection in it as it relates to Bitcoin. The flaw being speed of transactions. For a payment method that was touted as almost immediate, we’re seeing that as more transactions build up, the transaction time slows way down so that you might have to wait hours for a transaction to complete. There are probably some ways to fix this or some new twists to this technology that can be developed such as Iota’s Tangle.
That is not exactly correct, transactions are instantaneous, what it is slow as hell are confirmations, and as we know this has been an issue of debate for a long time about how to get around that, bitcoin took the segwit approach and we are going to see the lightning network in full effect probably in the next year and only then we will see if the proposal made by the core developers is going to work as advertised.

One point I'd like to make is that while Blockchain is a topic that is often associated with Bitcoin, it can exist entirely independent of Bitcoin. There's lots of technical and intellectual "baggage" associated with Bitcoin, and those negatives shouldn't prejudice someone as to the possible uses of Blockchain.
There is still no perfect solution for the flaws of bitcoin transaction. But the truth is, people could actually live with those minor issues in regards to transaction on blockchain becasue it is not really noticeable n the sense that peoole could still used Bitcoin as a form of investments, in transavtion and in tradings.
