Except blockchain solves no useful problems so you will never find it behind anything that isn't explicitly using it for marketing.
But what if we used AI driven, cloud integrated blockchain to create a hybrid platform for your business needs?
Synergy that!

tldr: there are some legitimate use cases. But not in the first world. And they are unrelated to what crypt-bros are trying to sell.

disclaimer 2: while the ideas in the article are interesting, they are flawed (or at least debatable). See comment-section for details.
Git is a distributed block chain, from a certain point of view.
Not in an meaningful sense connected to the technology at all
Distributed but high trust.
Zero-trust blockchain tech has no value. There is no such thing as a zero trust system in real life.
Um no.
To me blockchain just means merkle trees. I know that's not how everyone else defines it, I'm not trying to start a debate, but tools like git use that technology as well. (Not that Bitcoin invented them or anything.)
