The main takeaway is that there are advantages to both centralized and decentralized solutions.
Neither is universally better than the other; they each have their own use cases .
However, the best solutions are those that recognize when decentralization is critical to accomplishing some goal and don’t get distracted when a blockchain is viable but really doesn’t make sense.
A good blockchain use case is like an oasis in a desert.
Mirages pop up all the time, but that doesn’t make them the real deal.
Be sure that you’re able to justify why a blockchain works for your use case!
