Does Blockchain Solve Any Real World Problems?

https://d1p9wirkq0k00v.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/24063650/Blockchain.jpg
When the prices go down a lot of people get exhausted and sober up on where we are at with the technology. I was literally hearing the same thing about the "technology not being ready" back in 2014.  

## "It's new technology"  Blah Blah Blah

People were saying that back in 2013 / 2014.   It isn't that new anymore and unfortunately Bitcoin has been unable to scale properly.  That won't stop the speculators.   So the question is this....... 

### Does Blockchain Solve Any Real World Problems? Problems that can't be solved by relational databases and current payment systems.   After all our payment and banking system are fairly reliable and even if us basement dwellers and tin foil hat wearing crypto nerds don't trust banks most people to trust them and accept them as their reality.   

### Here is my take after being in this space since 2013.

Blockchain via steemit makes people earn money to put food on the table or get the medicine or medical treatments that they need like in my case @brianphobos

I think non USD/EUR countries have more benefit to switch to cryptocurrencies.

Currently contactless card payments are good enough for mainstream people, even if there are negative interests, inflation, single point of failure and you don't really own your money.. but it probably will change, at the beginning people didn't what to learn the emails because the FAX was just fine to send messages, but then the killer apps came and now a world without internet is impossible to imagine

Yeah I agree.   I think it will happen first in other countries and then will happen in Europe and the United States.   But there are already people here accepting Bitcoin for cars and stuff.   I was seeing that back in 2013/2014 as well here.   
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/2011-line-red-a4-super-car/6611787987.html

I think suddenly everyone will sort of be apart of it kind of like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram....etc   Or at least they will know about it and hear about it all the time.   

I saw one study that was saying 20% of college students here used their student loan money to buy Bitcoin.   Hahhhahah    

Just think if that cranks up and everyone is trying to get a piece of it.   Then it will go super parabolic and just blow our minds again.   It will happen where we are just blown away again.   


I was going to ask you what are your goals with EOS?   Do you have a particular goal or mainly just trying to learn as much as possible about the tech?   Or do you have the goal of having your own project built on EOS?

Yeah the same here, people sell cars, houses and used stuff for Bitcoin https://www.subito.it/annunci-italia/vendita/usato/?qso=true&q=bitcoin but in the daily life isn't very popular. I think currently the biggest daily usage is in [Lithuania](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ7FzM8JQdr9NFPNNVLafpA/videos).

About #EOS, I'm going to finish and publish `eosfilestore` as open source and probably integrate it in on a webpage with Scatter wallet, and you? Do you plan to build a project on EOS?

Yes, it solves a ton of problems in various different industries, but not too many people are aware of it yet, or the tech is still in developmental phase.  

I've dived deep into some examples where blockchain has veyr real usecases: [digital advertising will be disrupted by blockchain solutions](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@sroka87/blockchain-and-advertising-new-solutions-to-old-problems), as will [lending](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@sroka87/lending-and-borrowing-on-the-blockchain-should-banks-be-scared) and [supply chains](https://steemit.com/technology/@sroka87/blockchain-of-things-the-inevitable-combination-of-iot-and-distributed-ledger-tech-will-change-the-world)
