What does turn it into dangerous nonsense is the "solution looking for a problem" phenomenon, fueled by techno-libertarians and more so plain greedy people, looking for a way to justify and entrench the mostly useless technology that makes them rich.

In quite a lot of cases it's because we need someone to take responsibility for the actions of an entity, or the blame when something goes wrong. In cases like that the blockchain won't really change much, and it ends up being another technology/process that is available.

That being said, I'm sure there are other cases where the blockchain can be used. The problem is that it's currently used as the proverbial hammer, making every problem look like a nail.
