Hello,

I have been researching about blockchains and stuff and it all seems like a big scam. It’s not sustainable and can be replaced by a simple database.

is there any legitimate use cases of blockchains or it is all just a big scam?

    It’s also a problem of ownership. For exchanges between banks, a blockchain is better because no bank would be the owner of the database.

    Plus it’s safer because altering a database is usually trivial while altering a blockchain is virtually impossible.
