My take out from your informative post is this:-

T - Trust
a  - as
a -  a
S - Service

Whole industries are just rolling over and waiting to be disrupted.

Blockchain use is limitless, through technology we a great amount of data that needs to be organised in a way that will make services more accessible for various users. Blockchain seems to be the only technology that we have so far that will enable a centralized ledger of information which has previously been  extremely siloed, in both  industry and even government.
