In all that time, the thing that drew me in was never the price. Back in 2021 I wrote a post with the deliberately unhelpful title <a href="https://blog.cfelde.com/2021/08/dont-use-blockchain/">Don&rsquo;t use blockchain</a>. The argument was that blockchain is a bad database and a worse computer: slow, expensive, single-threaded by design. It has exactly one job worth paying that cost for: removing third-party risk. You stop having to trust that some operator keeps running the right software and doesn&rsquo;t abuse their access. That&rsquo;s it. Everything else you should minimize.</p>
