one of my favourite twitter events is when someone pinged jimbo wales (the co-founder of wikipedia) and said "hey you should use the blockchain for wikipedia instead, it's really good for storing data" and jimbo literally replied "we already have a place for storing data. it's called a database"

the conversation started low and moved further downhill very quickly into this person saying "but the blockchain can do this" and someone else saying "but the database they already have does it faster and more efficiently" and then PUBLIC LEDGER and ugh
