It makes me happy to see others "getting it".
The concept of a shared-database that none of the individual actors can deface/corrupt has absolutely incredible implications for how these types of systems can be built. Realistically over the coming years, this type of technology is going to come along and replace much of what we use today on the internet.
It's such an exciting time to be tinkering in this field!
