Without really having an opinion on the matter - I think there's a difference in having a use and being adopted.

Something can be absolutely awesome in theory but useless if no one is using it.

Yeah I think a lot of people don’t understand that “good for x problem”, “better than existing solution”, and “switching to this solution is better than staying with the existing solution” are three vastly different things

Blockchain fails because switching to it is consistently worse than sticking with current solutions, and often it fails at being better than current solutions in the abstract
