          Blockchain is a 0 trust distributed ledger. It can store anything. The 0 trust forces it to do expensive things. That make it not worth it

      I can see it happening if it becomes an “appliance”, similar market to what the home assistant green doodad is going for. “put this shiny blue cube full of hard drives into your kitchen, and join the identiverse! it also comes in purple!”
