    Blockchain is the shitty reinvention of PGP, my dude. I don’t agree to this silly retronym for nearly 50 year old cryptographic methods. Yes, if you remove all the supposed advancements and advantages of blockchain, you’re left with the cryptographic foundation which was the only thing that had merit. Congratulations.

      Yes. Blockchain is PGP + Hash linked lists + Distributed validation. They hadn’t been combined until 2008.
