As part of my job, I often have to convince business folks that they don't need to buy a fucking private blockchain (from IBM of course, because they're old enough to think that no one ever got fired for buying IBM). This is very close to the arguments I make, and adds some excellent, articulate points!

This is happening at both of my companies now. I'm almost to the point of telling them to buy it just so they can tell their golf buddies they're using blockchain too.

Pro-tip: do an "experiment" with blockchain (built in house to keep it cheap) so they can tell their golf buddies they're looking into it. Make sure it's compared to a sane solution, because then they can feel superior for having "insider knowledge" that it's pointless.
