blockchain is an undeniable technology. all data in blockchain is valid and can be accounted for its validity.
even a hacker if he want to damage the system he has to hack all the servers.

In fact, bitcoin, ETH and DASH have made the whole blockchain relatively complete, and I think most people are passionate about the blockchain because of their interest because the industry is so easy to make money
yes, I agree with you, because block chain is easy to give profit. not just DAsh, ETH, but also BCH.

No doubt that blockchain technology is the main portal for digital currencies. It changes and alter the perception of people, especially for those that want to seek decentralized solution. Together with the combination of Fintech - It's only the beginning chapter of digital currencies and will get better in near future Smiley

Why everybody is doing blochain?

I feel the world is already doing good.
Our internet speeds are good, hospitals are doing good, insurance is working and so are the schools, flights and education

Why there is so much hype about blockchain and decentralization all of a sudden?

If insurance industry or banks are storing the transaction information in a central database/system and its been working fine so far and there is no double spending problem
, how would making it decentralized help so much?
Atleast from end user/customer it really doesnt matter as long as the information stored is accurate and transactions are going fine (which is already happening)

Agree that in the past, lot of hacking attempts happened (the big retail store credit card, credtit rating hacked etc) but these problems would still exist even if we do blockchain

May be I did not understood the concept of blockchain. Does anything changes drastically for me, the end user?
I would be still going to website to book my flight tickets or go to centers to write exams or get my insurance claims or be dependant on the banks for withdrawing my money etc
Please provide any links or articles to read which explains it in layman terms on what is really changing and what the sudden splurge of devs/companies are really doing

When bitcoin or crypto-currency was introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto way back Year 2007, His white paper proposes that  each piece of bitcoin contains equivalent hash.  The number of bitcoin circulation will only reproduce through generating hash (in bitcoin developer terminology means solving complex mathematical problem). It was called bitcoin mining(or crypto currency mining). Everybody can connect in bitcoin network and can contribute in generating hash (peer-to-peer network).  In simple term, bitcoin is just a number in computer with equivalent hash instead of gold.  In the present system, Federal Reserve can add number of dollar in the circulation through the changes in number saved in computer.  

Each computer are connected in bitcoin network and generate hash (bitcoin mining) called node.  Each bitcoin transaction is register in node.   Since bitcoin transaction is in the node, each node became and serve as your bank.  

Bitcoin is an open source (anybody can access its technical details on how bitcoin works) and peer-to-peer (anybody can create a node or bank).  So, we can consider that the intrinsic value of bitcoin is "trust and confidence" just like flat.  Some of us receive our salary or payment through bank.  We paid service charge in the bank to save in the computer the number that is equivalent to our money (flat value).  If the bank or the government declared bankruptcy, our money will disappear just like a bubble.  

Crypto-currency  is a system of currency that is decentralized meaning nobody (government or bank) controls it.  Meaning, there will be no service charge or bank charge will be deducted to you everytime you made any transaction.  In short, through cryptocurrency, you do not need bank because you have and can create your own bank.

Just like what happen in the past, the mode of transaction drastically change from gold or earth metals into flat,  in the next generation, flat will be replaced by crypto currency as anew currency.  It may be difficult in the start but sooner or later, people will be at ease in using it. The only advantage of those people who believes and invest as soon as bitcoin currency introduced is of course they are wealthier people compared to those who do not believe.

Cos it's a cool sounding word. I remember someone here talking to finance people at a tech conference. They all adored 'blockchain' but didn't actually know what it meant or what it was supposed to do.

Expect 99.8% or more of current ICOs, businesses and proposals to never amount to shit.

I know lot of people are getting curious about this technology and of what they have hear and read from news probably drives them into crypto world. Not exactly that all of us are engaging crypto because some of us are still doubted about is existence and really don't know how it works for us.

Well I haven't heard of blockchains being hacked yet, so I wouldn't say that for certain.

Either way, the blockchain is a new way of doing things. It has proven to be effective at promoting decentralization and transparency, and is lauded for that very same potential. It's poised to be the "next big thing", and people are starting to realize it. Companies are going crazy over it because there is no clear cut leader yet. The one which ends up at the front of the pack will earn a significant fortune for sure.

You don't have to use it right now, because it's simply an alternative at the moment, but it may be revolutionized to run most of everything in the future. You never really know.

Well, let us just say that this is just an option which people may choose if they want to. If they do not want it then there is the traditional way of doing things. Blockchain is unique in that it is a public document so to speak. It is a ledger of transactions, all transactions, that can be accessed publicly by anyone. That means, the blockchain technology is the most transparent of all. And then the blockchain will only show wallet addresses, which means the real identity of the people using it is kept out, it is not known. And again, there is the issue of the banks and its system which practically monitors everything happening in the financial world. Crypto, along with blockchain, lets you get out of it.

This is new era of blockchain and world need changing to be better than.
Then how we will if centralized is good or better if we dont try the decentralize. World will always change so if dont follow it then we will be in the back for sure. Thats the reason why people doing blickchain.

Nothing changes drastically, unless you make good use of it. A lot of people are now just beginning to understand the serious potential with this (in terms of money) so that's why everybody is excited. Suddenly when you have an overpriced industry promoting some strange concepts, everyone bats an eye. Now not everything is worthwhile, but there are generally some projects to focus on.
