I'm a big fan of decentralized cloud storage on the blockchain but not sure how well it would scale currently. Seems ready for enterprise implementation but there may be challenges with consumer level. I think it's also interesting that you can both host and rent from the same network. Also, privacy because you and only you hold the private key. Maybe I should keep my business ideas on there!

Here's another one. This is a potential use case. You've probably heard of Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). I think the next logical step is Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) if it hasn't been done already.

Providing businesses a simple way to get over the technical barriers and customize their own product seems like a no brainer. Just did a search, looks like Microsoft is already on something like that. That is really cool.

Resteemed your post

Communication is the act of 2 people engaging in a dialogue. Commenting on posts is the essence of communicating, which is a social function, therefore bringing to the BLOCKCHAIN this social function is a great thing. I strongly feel that STEEMIT as a social platform with bounce Facebook out. Even if many cannot write posts due to low self esteem or the inability to drum up original content and creative idea's, the ability to comment still keeps them in the game and continue the social aspect. I have been on STEEMIT for 1.5 years and I have met the most amazing people, that I otherwise would have never met. I have learned to make recipes from different cultures and countries that I have not gone to. The idea of original content, leaves me with the notion that they speak truth in their words, and we commonly form a bond of trust. Thanks for thinking outside the box for the sake of the #blockchain and #steemit

Ok. I am not a tech guy and don't know every details on blockchain system. But steemit is really working well and I can do those here what I love to do most.

I'm convinced that Blackchain can improve several processes and make them more secure. Use cases could be:
* Election process (we need here a blockchain with privacy)
* Reward programms
* Replacing paypal
* Automatic exchange of different currencies
* Car renting
* Micro payments
* Storing of importent measurement values for audits (chemical process..)
* Preventing fake brands with unique RFID (RFID with blockchain id is destroyd when using the product)

So far I think Smart Contracts are the Best use for Blockchain. This helps to make transactions more safe and each party feel like there is little to no risk. It also greatly reduces fee's and can take the place of escrow. Also here is a contest I have going on https://steemit.com/contest/@isteemithard/new-steemit-contest-best-steemit-post-this-week-week-1 you may find it interestingly connected.

For me personally, the best use case of Blockchain technology is that it allows authors and other content creators to distribute their work and receive payments for it immeditaley :-)

From a wider point of view, I think smart contracts are a valuable asset, since they have countless cases of use, allowing one to do a lot of useful things on the blockchain transparently, securely and cheap.
Some examples:
* keeping track of ownership rights
* being able to own and control your own digital identity 
* automating mortgage contracts
* cutting out the middlemen in real estate
* taking out the possibility of manipulation in elections
* eliminating fraud on gambling sites.
* providing transparent financial data recording
...

I could go on for a while :-)

@orginalworks

i think its an informative post.not only i verybody expect for socialexperiment.....
i will wait for your next contest..

BlockChain Tech Is Best Used To Make Normal People Wealthy Beyond Their Wildest Dreams. Lol. Seriously the capabilities of blockchain tech have yet to be discovered or implemented I think. The real power is within the decentralizing nature and transparency.

I think the whole decentralized structure that allows the network to continue without direction from a centralized source/power. This allows the network to be protected from external threats and regulation from nations/NGOs. Being able to hold stake in a blockchain token (such as a Bitcoin) will allow people to move around, even away from conflict zones and still have their wealth be accessible from the new location.  Privacy, protection, portability.

I'm patiently waiting for people to contribute so I can learn more of the things I never knew from  their points
