The so-called innovation that can only come from flooding is often pseudo-innovation, just like things that can only be blown into the sky by the wind are not because they have wings themselves.
True innovation has nothing to do with this; flooding should be an embellishment, like sending coal in snow.
To be honest, in our circle, apart from Bitcoin and a few others, there is not much real innovation; most so-called innovations are just traditional scams wrapped in the new bottle of blockchain.
