> It keeps me up at night that one day a top-down decision will come that says we must a have a blockchain solution because market, or new competitors will bloom in the face of absurd amount of money being thrown at blockchain solutions and take market share. I imagine that 5 years from now, the winners of today's hype battles will be the losers when they have to maintain an overly complex inflexible solution for many years more.

If the people making the calls don't understand the technology, you can just make up jargon to keep them happy. Make a regular app, call it a "blockchain solution" and call it a day.
