    Yeah Blockchain is a massive warning flag.

    There are only two real use cases for Blockchain

    1. Financial speculation (very risky one, somewhat like trying to time a pyramid scheme)
    2. Various types of fraud

      AKA

      1. Investment (very profitable if you stick to the large market caps and avoid obvious trash like Odysee/NFTs/shitcoins)
      2. Decentralized finance

      1. validating financial transactions (in regular markets/banks/etc),
      2. ensuring data integrity (i.e. tamper-proofing) in databases,
      3. spotting people who talk out of their ass
