>Don't get me wrong, block chain has some wonderful applications

Like what?

I used to work in crypto. The only use case I found was an extremely easy way to create and trade unregistered securities and trade them in unregulated exchanges.



Additionally, a question for you: I don't have experience in finance. Do you think this idea of having a settlement period for crypto transactions could work?


> Like what?

Home heating.


Ha, yeah. So, maybe a stretch here.

I'm thinking of use cases like distributed domain name lookup systems, identification systems, social networks.
