Nothing most sane people haven't been all but screaming all through last year. volkskrant.nl/ts-b16f8273 via @volkskrant
All through the year many of us in the Sane Speaker Circuit, together with competent devs and business developers have been saying "blockchain" as presented last year was a stupid proposition.

So onwards and upwards.
Sane projects should keep building, at a cost that is realistic, which is actually low: any "blockchain dev" that has one year experience should not be hired for an exorbitant wage, just like high wages for Vendors of Shit should never be given.

Build realistically, AFTER planning.
