The reason I am generally skeptical of the technology is the same reason I’m not going to try to give you a definition.
I’ve never seen it solve a problem or be proposed as a reasonable solution to a problem. What happens instead is that someone says “could we do BLOCKCHAIN for this, it’ll make it way more modern” and the subset of people that want to look really forward-leaning and cool say “YEAH”. If that subset of people is loud enough, a lot of money gets spent and a bunch of implementers have to figure out how to jam in something they can say is blockchainy… leading to a proliferation of definitions.
The results have been universally more expensive applications with fewer helpful features. I don’t like “blockchain” because everything that touches it gets worse.
