Is "blockchain" singular, plural, or some kind of lowercase Proper Noun? > Blockchains fall Okay, blockchain is singular, so it always refers to a single object. There is a universe U of objects, and "Blockchain" is a predicate on U. So for any given x in U, "Blockchain(x)" is a proposition. In other words, we can ask whether something is a blockchain or not. > Step one is to figure out a framework for analyzing blockchain Here it's being used as a plural, like you might study a herd of blockchain. That's okay in principle - some words are their own plurals, like "sheep" or "fish". But above, it had an "s" at the end, so it can't be plural. Another possibility is that "blockchain" is the name of some specific object. "Fred went to the store" -> "I asked blockchain for some money". That's no problem: Your name can be "Archer" and you can study Archery. There is a constant c in U such that Blockchain(c). Something somewhere is named "blockchain". > blockchain does not have the capability to support > For everything Blockchain does worse than other databases More evidence that he's talking about some specific blockchain. Christians capitalize God in every sentence to show reverence, while Atheists tend to leave it as a lowercase god. Is something similar happening here? Which blockchain are people even talking about?
