No man is an island and neither is any decentralized crypto-'coin'. I think Mailchimp should have done this more tactfully, with a promise to deliver every leg

No man is an island and neither is any decentralized crypto-'coin'.
I think Mailchimp should have done this more tactfully, with a promise to deliver every legit coin newsletter email if the coin is actually in use for something other than speculation, a real use case, adopted and helping the world go round.
Where is the blockchain solution for spam, anyways? I have heard about some land registry in Africa that has moved onto the blockchain and I am ready to get my Kodak coins, fully bought in, expecting my Lamborghini to moon soon. But really, I am stumped when it comes to practical application for blockchain coin things. If I owned Mailchimp and was the benevolent dictator chimp in chief then I would freely deliver every legit coin email three times over if it could be proven to be legit rather than barely believable if you are on the Koolaid.

How do you deal with those behind the other emails who will claim up and down, all over Twitter and HN and everywhere that they're totally legit, but the big bad censor won't let them send? And, most importantly, how do you deal with the big email providers disagreeing with you, and lowering your company's reputation score as a result, making it harder for you to do business?
