I kind of understand the interest in cryptocurrency, but I'm still a little lost when it comes to other applications for blockchain tech itself.
My limited understanding based on about a month of on and off research tells me distributed ledgers which can't be tampered have applications in certain fields, particularly finance. But now we see blockchain-based solutions cropping up everywhere (like startups claiming to be the 'Uber of x', now the trend seems to be blockchain of 'insert problem here').
