A blockchain without an asset/reward backing it (via POW: Proof-of-work & POS: Proof-of-Stake) is nothing more than a glorified federated database amongst trusted third parties. The decentralization and consensus protocols therein are what make it revolutionary.
Sadly most folks don't get it and some never will.
