In my opinion. Blockchain will definitely have huge implementations in stock markets, voting, real estate. but who knows when government bodies will implement..
Btw not sure about crypto currency.🧐 There are many questions still to be answered. Like how gov. will control the economy in case any crisis as it won't have any direct control over currency. (Then there won't be any point of government if all is decentralised 😂)

In India, the government has used blockchain to create a universal pass for persons who have been twice vaccinated. I'm not aware of any other implementations, but this is the only one I've seen from the government.

The concept of a decentralised finance system is appealing, but the existing system is too volatile and unsustainable; I suppose only time will tell whether it will take off or not.

I'm reading a book from Mark Alizart wich is call CryptoCommunism. I buy it because i find it hillarious (i must admit) but there are some very intresting perspectives about decentralised state, blockchain and
kind of neo-marxism that worth the reading.

Telling the truth, it's great to see that time goes and even internet is also improving. For me web3 is online privacy and anonymity. And I believe it's the only way how it can be accessed. If I'm not mistaken, Utopia p2p can be called web3 - https//u.is/ as it's decentralized, based on its own blockchain ecosystem, containing messenger, email, browser, own crypto and providing 100% anonymity to its users.

Anonymity is exactly the wrong direction. To keep online discourse civil and in check the penalties for bad actors should mirror real life. We need real credible identity and reputation. What you say and do linked to Passport, driver license, dna, credit and a list of up to 50 people in your immediate circle who, by virtue of their collective knowledge, vouch for your position in family and society. Isint this completely obvious?

decentralized yes, for sure that will grow. But Blockchain, I dunno know. The tail-data like in Bitcoin seems to be a huge waste of resources

Peer to peer and decentralized does not have to be Blockchain and cryptocurrency.

No, based on the facts I've obtained, I believe it is still in its early stages of growth and will require time to mature.
The frameworks that are used to create decentralized applications are changing fast and are not very stable.
We might see a lot of exciting applications and development in the framework in 2022, which might be a cornerstone for the future of blockchain.
