The article's author is oversimplifying blockchain technology and its potential applications. While the hype surrounding blockchain may have outstripped its actual achievements, it is still a relatively new technology with a lot of potential.
Blockchain is not just a buzzword, it is a fundamentally new way of storing and processing data that has the potential to transform many industries. It provides an immutable and transparent record of transactions that can be verified by anyone, reducing the need for intermediaries and increasing trust in the system.
Private blockchains are not just a watered-down version of public blockchains, they are a different type of technology that is tailored to the needs of specific industries or organizations. For example, private blockchains can be used to securely store and process sensitive data while still providing the benefits of transparency and immutability.
Tokenization is more than just "digitization wrapped up in crypto language". It is a way of creating a digital representation of an asset that can be easily traded and tracked on the blockchain, making it easier to manage and trade assets such as real estate, commodities, and other types of securities.
The author is right that the top-selling database solutions from companies like IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft have had some of the selling points of private blockchains for decades. However, they were not designed with the same goals and benefits as blockchain, and they are not well-suited to many of the use cases that blockchain can solve.
Finally, the author is overlooking the many successful use cases for blockchain that have already been demonstrated. For example, blockchain has been used to streamline supply chains, reduce fraud in voting systems, and improve transparency in the charity sector. These are real-world examples of how blockchain can improve processes and reduce costs, and they demonstrate that blockchain is more than just a buzzword or a solution in search of a problem.
