This article made me think immediately about a lot of discussions regarding blockchain suitability for a given use case. I realized solving for a « no trust » environment is extremely expensive (even purely computationally if you look at proof of work as a solution). Most of the times, deciding to start putting a little trust in the design saves a lot of complexity...
