Blockchains are a new technology that has risen to a worldwide knowledge level in the past few years, and they have been anything but polarizing. A large group is defending them, praising their capabilities, and talking about the huge potential they can reach. At the same time, the rest insists that blockchains are unnecessary and that the problems they bring are more detrimental than the supposed benefits could attain.
This thesis aims to determine whether blockchains are a viable option in the future of technology or if they are a bust by tackling them from their core and inner workings up to the top, going through their history and current applications and situation to their security capabilities.
The analysis of the premise concludes that blockchains are a technology that can be used in many areas where it would not bring any meaningful improvements, instead of becoming more detrimental to it as the array of issues is not insignificant. They create many problems that they attempt to solve with little success and try to fix others that do not need fixing.
