Yes, right now it is completely a glorified database.
It's always been a database. It's a different database.
We're using it for compliant sharing of and collaboration on private information records between non trusting organizations and businesses.
You could do this with something like a highly distributed Cassandra cluster.
But some of the inherent rules to a blockchain allow us to provide higher security, higher data persistence and availability between nodes, auditable records, and accountable participants / contributors.
And it's not centralized, it's completely distributed - just not publicly available to anyone who can download a mobile app.
