It's the illusion of safety. There is no facility for identity verification baked into blockchain. You have integrity for the data allowed on the chain but if you let Russian hackers write to it, it undermines the whole thing. Personally I'd rather go with a PKI system that offers non-repudiation.

- brundolf 6y agoExactly. This is the entire problem with blockchain: it has absolutely nothing to say about the quality of the data entering the system, which is usually the hard part anyway. But it provides this false sense of security because most people have no idea what it actually means. It's only useful when the entire problem space lives inside the blockchain. As soon as it has to reflect something in the real world, all bets are off.
- the_snooze 6y agoIt's pretty much par for the course for blockchain bullshit. They promise the world but aren't honest about the limitations of the tech. Yeah, you get data integrity assurance within the blockchain, but that says nothing about the accuracy of that data as it's coming in.
