Hello,

I have been researching about blockchains and stuff and it all seems like a big scam. It's not sustainable and can be replaced by a simple database.

is there any legitimate use cases of blockchains or it is all just a big scam?

The decentralized idea is great, but with so many shitcoins out there...it's tough.

Are you really going to build an entire car title company stop something like Binance or Trump Coin or Ninja Bits? Hell no.

I think the concept is good, but the execution thus far remains to be seen.
