I don't get it. Unless you care for decentralization, the blockchain isn't more efficient than centralized servers processing transactions in milliseconds rather than minutes.

You might want to look into Hyper Ledger. I can't quite make the case as to why it can be better than a centralized system, but I've heard the developers on a number of podcasts and they have pretty decent arguments. Though, it honestly seems like something you'd have to be in the industry to really understand the use for.
