Who among us has not felt,

When walking through the twilight,

Or writing down a date from the past,

That they have lost something infinite?

Blockchains are accounting procedures, not money. The only use I've ever figured out for blockchain is to support a hawala among untrusted partners. But real value (goods/services) must eventually be transferred in the network.

Blockchain "currencies" feature:

- high costs and slow speed of clearing transactions;

- volatility WRT to other stores of value;

- routine abuse and theft (with little chance of being made whole);

- association with criminal enterprise

These are pretty good reasons not to invest in blockchains.
