I was scrolling through the news and caught myself thinking - why no one is talking about blockchain as a technology.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink seriously states that Bitcoin is now a separate asset class. It sounds as if it has become as commonplace as stocks or bonds. At the same time, Tether decides to engage in lending to companies that work with raw materials.

And this is not to mention Kamala Harris, who emphasizes cryptocurrency in the context of supporting the African-American community. An interesting approach.

But what surprises me is - does anyone even remember the blockchain technology itself? With crypto, everything is clear - money, investments, hype. But blockchain as a tool for solving real problems remains somewhere on the periphery.

Is anyone still thinking about how to implement it in government registries, for example, so that it is impossible to forge documents or falsify data?

The paradox is that a technology that can bring enormous benefits in a variety of areas — from medicine to law — continues to be associated only with crypto and money. But blockchain can become the missing element for creating truly transparent systems.

They say that blockchain is the present, not the future. But it will become the present when state and municipal registries are in the blockchain, so that no one can forge information. When registries become transparent and available for verification at any time. When corruption and bureaucracy are faced with the impossibility of fraud.

But instead, everyone is discussing how much bitcoin costs and how to use it for the next speculation.

I would like to see technologies used to the maximum — not only to create more financial instruments, but also to solve real problems.
