As a self-proclaimed AI researcher, I saw this in my feed and took it upon myself to go through like 6 cloudflare verifications to open that stupid thing for the first time in months. It has a sleek new UI.

This is not the initial answer it gave to your question, but this is the answer I got after a couple follow-up questions to narrow it down to the most relevant stuff:

------

Understood. Let's focus on the use cases with clear, demonstrable utility backed by real-world implementations:

### Financial Sector

1. **Microtransactions**:

- **Lightning Network**: Demonstrably used for fast, low-cost transactions. Companies like Strike and Fold use the Lightning Network for everyday purchases and micropayments.

### Supply Chain Management

2. **Product Authentication and Anti-Counterfeiting**:

- **IBM Food Trust and Walmart**: IBM and Walmart have successfully implemented blockchain solutions to track and authenticate products, reducing food fraud and enhancing traceability.

### Legal and Compliance

3. **Document Notarization**:

- **Stampd.io and Bitproof**: Services like Stampd.io and Bitproof have been used to notarize documents, providing tamper-proof and timestamped records. Real estate companies and legal firms use these services for contract validation and secure document storage.

### Healthcare

4. **Medical Records**:

- **MedRec**: Piloted by MIT, MedRec uses blockchain to securely manage and share medical records. Estonia's eHealth system also demonstrates this use case, providing a national-scale implementation for secure health data management.

### Real Estate

5. **Property Transfers and Title Management**:

- **Sweden and Georgia**: Both countries have successfully piloted blockchain-based land registries. Georgia's National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR) uses blockchain to record property transactions, providing a transparent and immutable record.

### Identity Management

6. **Digital Identity and KYC/AML**:

- **Civic**: Civic's blockchain-based identity verification system is used by companies for secure, verifiable digital identities, streamlining KYC processes and reducing fraud.

### Voting Systems

7. **Electronic Voting**:

- **West Virginia**: The state conducted a successful pilot for blockchain-based voting for military personnel overseas during the 2018 midterm elections, demonstrating secure and tamper-proof voting.

### Intellectual Property

8. **Creative Content and Licensing/Royalties**:

- **Ujo Music**: Ujo Music uses blockchain to manage music rights and automate royalty payments, ensuring creators are compensated accurately and transparently.

### Charity and Non-Profit

9. **Donation Tracking**:

### Gaming and Virtual Goods

10. **In-Game Assets**:

- **CryptoKitties and Decentraland**: These platforms use blockchain to manage ownership and trade of in-game assets, demonstrating clear utility in the gaming industry.

### Energy Sector

11. **Energy Trading**:

- **Power Ledger**: Power Ledger's platform for peer-to-peer energy trading has been successfully implemented in various pilot projects globally, enabling users to trade renewable energy directly.

### Governance

12. **Land Registry**:

- **Republic of Georgia**: The Georgian government uses blockchain for its land registry, providing a transparent and immutable system for recording property ownership.

### Related Technologies

- **Lightning Network**: Widely adopted for fast and low-cost transactions, providing demonstrable utility for improving Bitcoin's scalability and enabling everyday transactions.

- **Atomic Swaps**: Decred and Komodo have implemented atomic swaps, allowing users to trade different cryptocurrencies directly without intermediaries, showcasing practical peer-to-peer trading solutions.

These examples highlight use cases with proven, demonstrable utility through real-world implementations and pilots, showcasing the tangible benefits of Bitcoin single-use seals and related technologies.

"blockchain" not bitcoin

what a surprise that corporations, well known for the corruption of their long chains of command and toxic psychology, benefit from blockchains to protect their databases, not an interesting or valuable use case nor something that really couldn't be fixed by abolishing LLCs entirely as being an abuse of the common wealth of people living nearby each other

yes, actually, you know since blockchains were invented (in the early days of distributed databases, and the inception of the entire field of distributed systems) users of it have profited from the accuracy and redundancy of the information by using hashes to chain transactions together, this was already a thing at least in the mid 90s, the blockchain is the useful thding, because it lets you make sure that nobody can tamper with the record in one area without it being discoverable, and correctable, indeed, ultimately it is just an error correction system and really salient to the use cases hashes as fingerprints and signatures as authorities

the only other one that stood out was property registries, but that is an example of where the court has adopted this as a notarization standard, good luck getting that use case to happen without cooperation of the court you must adjudicate any conflicts at

not gonna help you for those cases where the court doesn't recognise it and good luck getting it to be recognised as case law and even better luck getting it to be legistlated

I plugged this into ChatGPT and it kept giving me basically the same shit again but with a "ok let's focus on bitcoin specific stuff" intro injected in

Massive L for the chat bots yet again
