Hello,

I have been researching about blockchains and stuff and it all seems like a big scam. It’s not sustainable and can be replaced by a simple database.

is there any legitimate use cases of blockchains or it is all just a big scam?

    No. From the most base concepts, some authority still needs to recognize and enforce the contents of the blockchain (ownership, currency, whatever).

    What authority is needed when blockchain is used as a currency, what is there to enforce?

    But that means it will only ever be relegated to buying drugs on the internet and scams.

    You can buy much more than drugs using cryptocurrency, so this is absolutely false.
