blockchain


That would mean that instead of the data being in a single centralized location it's on every single node. That's the opposite of what we need.

Edit: Assuming the colloquial use of the term "blockchain", a public database. In the sense that a blockchain is simply a data structure it's not necessarily a problem but also not a solution.


No, the idea is that it's under collective control.


Why would you as a consumer want collective control over your data? Why should anybody but myself be able to affect my own credit?


That isn't how a blockchain works.


Great explanation /s

Please tell me how a blockchain works then.


Ok, sure. Why does having a public ledger imply anybody can control your data? Can I take your Bitcoin? You're being outright stupid tbh.
