Would you use a scalpel to cut your food? Or an F16 fighter jet to take a flight to your favorite holiday destination? Probably not.
While a scalpel is very sharp, and a fighter jet is very fast, they are unsuited to most real-life applications. Blockchains are no different. There are things that they are very good at, unique even, but under most circumstances they are not an optimal tool.
This small book covers a framework for how you can think about judging whether a specific blockchain application makes sense or not.
What others
This book offers a unique perspective essential for both enthusiasts and skeptics of blockchain technology. Regardless of personal beliefs, it provides context and enhances understanding, making it a must-read.

As someone involved in the blockchain industry, I know how hard it is to critique our foundational technology. This book effectively communicates that blockchain technology isn't a universal solution; rather, it's a tool with specific use cases.

Blockchains are Mostly Useless: Understanding the limited uses of blockchains Reviews
-
Finally, an honest take on the countless blockchain project ideas that don’t even need blockchain technology at all. Blockchains are mostly useless - except when they are extremely useful.
Mentor’s guidance parses the noise so readers can discard nonsense projects and find the gems where this niche technology can have a positive impact on humanity.
Quick read. Strong recommend for anyone curious about the space.
