    This is pretty categorically false. The main difference between the 2 is how many people need to be on-board for the train to leave the station. With things like Blockchain, and Crypto, it requires a majority of individuals to buy in to the system. If no one is using your currency, it’s literally worthless. With something like AI, it doesn’t require additional people to buy in for the product to be used. A good example is the help line that fired all their staff and started using an AI instead. This failed pretty spectacularly, but only because the implementation was rushed. There are LOTS of other companies that aren’t rushing their implementation.

      You do realize that there is zero contradiction between your comment and mine, yes? You said mine was “categorically” false (it isn’t) and then stated ways in which the two are different which have nothing to do with the ways in which they’re similar that I had mentioned. They’re similar but not identical. Also, Blockchain is useful for more than cryptocurrencies.
