Is Blockchain A Solution Looking for a Problem?

  • Summary

  • Is blockchain a revolutionary technology or just a solution looking for a problem? In this episode of Reversing the Trend, we dive deep into the real-world use cases of blockchain—where it works, where it fails, and what it truly means for underserved communities, especially in Africa.

    From cross-border payments and decentralized finance (DeFi) to digital ownership and remittances, blockchain has shown promise. But with thousands of failed projects left in the dust, is it really the future, or just another tech bubble? We analyze the successes and failures of blockchain applications in finance, crypto adoption, and financial inclusion.

    We explore:
    ✅ How Bitcoin and stablecoins are reshaping money transfers in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Sudan.
    ✅ Why DeFi could be a game-changer for financial access, but also why it remains largely inaccessible.
    ✅ The reality of NFTs and blockchain-based land registries—are they practical or just hype?
    ✅ How blockchain remittances could bypass costly middlemen, but why off-ramping remains a massive challenge.
    ✅ The brutal truth: why so many blockchain projects have failed and what lessons we can learn.
