Excellent article. I particularly liked his warning to look for evidence of IBM PR whenever blockchain is mentioned in the press, because they’re the gorilla testing this out in a bunch of places where it might or might not make sense.
it’s terrible, even in sources that should know better like the FT.
There’s a press-release news article for every Blockchain(tm) pilot launch, but very few for reports on how the pilot went. I found the report for one, ECB and Bank of Japan testing Hyperledger, where they called it “immature” and “not a solution”.

I see that we have discovered what is clearly the ultimate use for smart contracts, i.e. cat pictures on the Blockchain. That are popular enough to clog Ethereum. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/7haqky/i_think_cryptokitties_is_clogging_the_network/
