A comment on Why All Cryptocurrency Should Die in a Fire. Parent comment
Perfect solutions do not matter.
The only thing which matters is good enough solutions.
For a state (i.e. most states in the current world) federated validators are good enough.
And systems which go beyond that (wrt. byzantine generals problem) have properties states tend to not want.
(I'm not judging if it's ethical good or bad.)
