>What was the first linked-list? The initial 1955 implementation within the Information Processing Language. Come on, the history of computer science isn't exact esoteric knowledge so if you know so much about how blockchain is "supposed" to be defined it should be easy to find where they came from. And yes, every hash tree is a chain of blocks, nobody's arguing against that. The argument is whether or not blockchain should be defined so vaguely that it means the exact same thing as "hash tree", especially considering that blockchain is already in widespread use under a different definition. What you're doing is arguing semantics and asserting that mekle tree, hash tree, and blockchain so all mean the exact same thing. That's just going to confuse people even more...
