The key limitation of strict global consensus and hence blockchains is they will always be centralized, because you need a limited, undemocratic quorum to form consensus. Relative to non-consensus peer-to-peer solutions, which can be as free and decentralized as the internet. Only use blockchains if SGC is essential.

But, blockchains are logically centralized hence easy to reason about, hence socially valuable. A game of tradeoffs.
