Block chain is simply a buzz word people throw around to act like they are cutting edge, heck companies do it to as a way to pivot of failed business models. The issues with the decentralized net (really what you are talking about) is that is disregards people's desire for ease of use which is a core tenet of the internet. There is nothing easy about decentralization as it requires you to in fact manually interact with every online location you engage. The idea is Utopian but not practical and will not scale to the general public. People don't want to remember 15 passwords, they want one system to talk to another so they can easily operate there whole life from a single point.
There are companies trying to do this, but they are moving at a snails pace because they are figuring out adoption is just not there. As more and more tech devices are introduced into our every day life the idea of a decentralized net actually becomes less and less likely.
Ive been using and exploring all the possibilities of the software because a company I work for is starting to build apps for blockstack. My physicist father's company who is a major player in tech is really starting to develop some amazing apps based on this technology. I would say maybe you need to learn more about it, not the other way around. The surface is just being scratched, but the best technologist in the world are predicting its going to change everything, and from what I've seen with my own eyes, and from using blockstack daily, I would say they are right and you are not --sorry Au, but I gotta go with 'them' on this one. But thanks for you're opinion. I may actually share it with some developers to see what they think of your take on it. i'm still learning about it. I'm pretty excited about what I've seen tho, and it sure seems like a lot of people in the world are.
