The following is a true story. Or maybe it’s just based on a true story. Perhaps it’s not true at all.
Won’t know for sure until we get to the bottom of the rabbit hole.

What if, ten years after it was invented, the reason nobody has adopted a distributed ledger at scale is because nobody wants it?
That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Features interact — intentionally — and that makes the cost of implementing the N+1 feature closer to N than 1.
