A couple of years ago, I identified two main usecases for blockchains: objective money/finance and objective identity

However, over time, I've warmed to the idea that objective identity does not actually require strict global consensus. A less strict, loosely ordered global consensus may be adequate

Really, it's only money that requires strict consensus, or anything else of *temporal* economic value

While identity does have economic value, it is in most cases non-temporal in nature, and can hence be achieved better with loosely ordered alternatives to blockchains

What do you think about DePin as a use case for blockchains. Especially Storage networks like filecoin/arweave and compute/gpus like render/akash/tao
