99% of the time (and all 3 times in the blog post), there is only one source of truth for any piece of data, and state transitions are completely arbitrary. Blockchain is almost always the wrong solution.

> Blockchain is almost always the wrong solution.

Especially since in most of the cases where it's not-totally-insane to use, the right solution is the classic distributed database which came first, where the ledger is among predefined/controlled node-membership... as opposed to a bloated mass of workarounds-upon-workarounds to make it survive being ungovernable.

I've seen some boosters pivot to saying "private blockchain", but that's a vapid marketing-lie, a contradiction like selling "single-user Twitter" when really it's just a blog.
