2. Blockchain is a fad: Both private and public blockchains are becoming successful when used to enhance the end-user experience, reducing middlemen and building trust between organizations.
3. An industry-wide consortium is required to use blockchain: Private blockchains can be deployed to give organizations the opportunity to work more seamlessly with other consumers and suppliers.
