As I understand it, some of the hype around blockchain is that it 
addresses some of the above - and some the criticism is that it does not 
address all of them (other criticism is that price is too high).

Same/similar for Holochain and IPFS.

I dearly hope that the Safe Network succeeds and reaches critical mass, 
as it seems to me that it addresses all of the above 5 points, with a 
cost directly tied to the operations themselves (the Safenet equivalent 
of bitcoin "mining" is to contribute storage or bandwidth or validation 
to the network): https://safenetwork.tech/faq/#what-is-the-safe-network
