Why Big Corporations Are Ignoring Your Blockchain Revolution

Blockchain believers keep waiting for Fortune 500 adoption—meanwhile, execs are too busy juicing quarterly EPS.

Here's the cold truth: Your decentralized utopia isn't on their radar.

Corporate priorities vs. crypto dreams

While devs obsess over TPS rates and consensus mechanisms, boardrooms care about three things: regulatory compliance, shareholder value, and not getting hacked. Most would rather relabel their old SQL database as "blockchain" than deal with actual decentralization.

The enterprise blockchain graveyard

Remember when Walmart was going to track lettuce on Hyperledger? Or Maersk's much-hyped TradeLens? Both shuttered—along with 90% of other enterprise blockchain projects—when ROI failed to materialize.

Wall Street's quiet pivot

Goldman Sachs now trades Bitcoin futures... through centralized CFTC-regulated contracts. JPMorgan's Onyx runs permissioned ledgers that would make Satoshi vomit. The suits want blockchain's efficiency—without its disruptive ideology.

Wake-up call: If corporations adopt your tech, they'll gut its soul first. Just ask the bankers now getting rich off the very asset they mocked in 2017.
