That is quite a good vulgarization of the various properties that are at play between business cases and a blockchain; and a much better resources than OP's economist article.

I wish he talked more about properties for the currency use case -which is its most useful usage-.

On another note, a vast majority of the targeted use cases would benefit from well engineered solutions; having redundant persistence, availability, immutability, ordering, tamper-resistance, non-repudiation. But all this is could be simply achieved with Kafka + PKI signing.

Anyway, hyperledger fabric uses Kafka internally for the ordering... which leads me to say:

If lighting candles in the dark and saying 'blockchain' 3 times is all it takes to make a VC appear and help you build good Kafka + PKI infrastructures to tackle real problems; then I'm all for maintaining this white lie based on all the wrong reasons (which would attention seeking? unspoken implicit promises of riches?).
