Before asking this question you should learn what is the consensus problem and learn what is blockchain from cryptosystems' perspective (hint: they are two completely different things). It's pointless to discuss research if the in

No, not really. Even though there's no good definition what "strong" and "weak" means, it was always meant as a totally different axis than static/dynamic typing. C is weakly typed, OCaml is strongly typed. Bot
