Over the last few weeks I've noticed an increasing amount of interest in Bitcoin and related technologies (P2P, blockchain, distributed computing, etc.) with the overwhelming majority of voices saying that this is something revolutionary.

But doesn't it make more sense to try to solve your problem in the simplest way possible? I'd argue that there is rarely a case in which a bitcoin-like solution is the simplest way to solve whatever problem you're faced with (baring the problem bitcoin was intended to solve of course).
