This post is so bad. I generally agree that most attempted uses of blockchain are flawed. The problem is that the reasons given in this post are even more flawed.
Most of the examples given could be adapted to work with blockchain if it were to solve it's core scalability issue. The repetition of "blockchain is not IoT" is a parody of the post itself. Reminds me of "MongoDB is webscale".
We should instead be discussing how each case could work with blockchain given a few changes. For example the supply chain one would work if we put tamperproof temp sensors in with the produce rather than the truck. The desires of the produce supplier and receiver of it are aligned so trust shouldn't be put in the truck. Even a little thought sheds light on the other straw man examples.
