Blockchains depress me. There are so many technlogies that are vastly more interesting. But most of those haven't created $120,000,000,000 Ponzi schemes, so they're ignored by politicians.
Imagine what would happen if the EU pledged 340 million Euro to database research! Or at any of the great peer-to-peer networks out there. Or at something like Git. Think of all the fascinating new technologies we'd get. But instead they're going to throw money at the goddamn blockchain.
