Plates are sooooo 2010's if my food isn't served on a wooden board or a tile I'm not even interested.

Fraud is also a thing in Africa, I suppose adding crypto is an attempt to add some transparency/accountability to mobile payments.

The code has to be logged at Amazon warehouse though so it can linked to your amazon account number. Manufacturer -> Distributor -> Customer. Otherwise I could buy one real product off Amazon, copy the code onto my fake product and sell on Amazon marketplace.

The faults that people are attributing to blockchain are also applicable to cash, if you go the market and buy some magic beans from dodgy Dave with cash you won't be getting your money back. If you buy something from a reputable supplier with cash/blockchain then you would probably get a refund if you had some form of receipt.

I wouldn't say it maximises happiness but it does serve to mitigate ghettoisation. In the UK they've done a good job of this, you'll often see council housing mixed into upmarket areas. Also all newly built developments are required by law to have 20% allocated as "affordable" and social housing.
