I’m really tired of people assuming decentralized = eth derivative. The practical use cases of federated and decentralized apps have been shown (no one source of truth, tampering or failure) but practical apps aren’t going to use a cryptocurrency why the hell would they.

At scale we’ve been building completely decentralized applications for a decade and a half. They’re just internal to some organization not public. Taking this and placing the database in the users hands is an interesting way to go but not exactly an order of magnitude more complex at that point.

But this doesn’t require some dumbass blockchain currency and ethereum is super forced.
