In 2019, blockchains will start to become boring (technologyreview.com)

And boring is not bad.

I'm bored just reading about this..

Boring is great. Means we've reached the trough of disillusion and real use cases can begin to flourish.

My prediction is that some services or products will use a blockchain as an underlying mechanism but without telling it and will even deny it, in order to avoid the stigma.
