But is a "distributed ledger" a blockchain? Nowhere in my article did I say that "private distributed ledgers" are nonsense (allthough, writing it down gives me cringes). But the whoe focus on "terminlogy" is in my article for pricesly this reason. I am not talking about how it is silly to have your excel sheet shared amongts a predefined set of participants using fancy bittorrent-streams (a distributed ledger). But that a blockchain being private is nonsense. And allthough your average marketing department might hate to hear it, but your distributed ledger is quite certainly not a blockchain.
