I stopped reading when blockchain was mentioned.

I thought it was otherwise a reasonable idea, but yes-- it put me off a bit when he mentioned blockchain without further elaboration.

I see blockchain as a technology that may develop useful applications, but-- in terms of current day usage-- I'm extremely skeptical when it's referenced in conjunction with applications that might achieve the same goals without it.

I sincerely hope that we’re only witnessing

“Any sufficiently long Internet discussion will propose blockchain as a solution.”

rather than

“Blockchain is eating the world.”

because it shows a lack of understanding of the basics of distributed computing. specially on top of the web we have today (which was how the thread started "IA as a default host-of-records" which implies said records must be reachable by a any tech illiterate lawyer today)

car analogy time: It is the same as reading a post about "how to lift my car to do work in the garage", and the the second paragraph starts with "using energy harvested from my perpetual motion machine"
