Planning on sharing more broadly tomorrow, any feedback is appreciated!

Finally had a chance to read it.

1. About ordering. You’re saying order doesn’t matter in casts but in replies order does matter in maintaining a sequence or posts. Would this be affected?

In a blockchain, this would just break everything.
