While that is an inherent component of how proof-of-work cryptos work, and utterly stupid, it's not an inherent part of how to do blockchains.

Yeah it's called a database....

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There aren’t a lot of distributed databases with no single owner and all writes are signed.

No owner is great for a banking system. It stops the owner printing money whenever they feel like it.
