Is blockchain really the future of finance, or just overhyped tech?

So, I've been hearing about blockchain for years now, but I still don't get the hype. Banks seem to work fine, and crypto's been a rollercoaster. What am I missing? Is this really going to revolutionize finance, or is it just tech bros playing with digital Monopoly money?

Dude, you're missing the point. It's not about replacing banks, it's about giving people control over their own money. No more middlemen taking a cut of every transaction.

Control? Have you tried recovering a lost crypto wallet? One wrong move and your life savings vanish into the ether. At least banks have customer service.

Y'all are focused on crypto, but blockchain is way bigger than that. Smart contracts could revolutionize everything from real estate to supply chain management.

Lol, another blockchain evangelist. Wake me up when I can buy groceries with my magic internet money without jumping through a million hoops.
