By the way, as far as I understand, git is an example of a private blockchain.

  How so? With git, you have to manually resolve merge conflicts. With blockchain, the general point is to use PoW (or something equivalent) to automatically do a vote on which is the correct version. Isn't that also the case in a private blockchain?

    I think git has: 1. A chain of blocks referencing its parents by hash, thus verifying their validity and immutability 2. A rules for consensus on choosing what blocks can be appended (both technically and organizationally through each company’s PR review process) That makes git a blockchain.

      Good point, had not thought of it in this way before!
