"Vaporware"
It has been hyped for 5 or more years already, and it's still not used in serious applications aside from some small-scale trial runs. And when it's used, it's quite centralized with some companies managing their blockchain and the network itself being private and small. There are some interesting projects that are truly decentralized because they are built on top of networks like Ethereum, but still they don't get much traction, so there's nothing that could have justified talking about blockchain as some game-changing technology of the future.
Don't know about others but here in India, Government trying its best to use the features of blockchain to solve real-world problems, one such example is this:
https://inc42.com/buzz/npci-launches-blockchain-based-vajra-platform-to-secure-payments/We have to understand that Bitcoin is just an instance of Blockchain Technology. Blockchain technology is neither conclusive, nor inclusive of what Bitcoin offers. It's a cocktail of various features and Bitcoin used some of it and mixed it with others to use the same as payment interface. It is very much possible to mould blockchain into something entirely different.
the answer will determine the future of blockchain ? thats cool but why ?
You actually misunderstood what I was trying to imply. What I was trying to say is that, blockchain technology is highly dynamic. Ethereum came and disrupted everything with new concept of Smart Contracts. Similarly, it is possible that we will see some new form of blockchain technology in future. Bitcointalk is one place where lots of creative mind enthusiast about blockchain share their new ideas and thoughts. The sole purpose of this thread was to learn if anyone having any such disruptive idea for future of blockchain.
