Why would you need merging and conflict resolution when there's a single source of truth? All you need is a stream of messages and some way to record them. If you want to distribute them P2P, add some metadata to sort them.

per the article, in the Burma case, you have multiple banking branches with only intermittent internet connections, and therefore want to be able to work offline easily while still querying the (albeit stale) database state.

Streams of messages don't work as well when you're multi-party, and the default state is offline, not online

In what way do stream of messages which are recorded by the receiver not work in this case, and how does the Blockchain differ?
