A personal note on this: I spent the last year of my blogging career focusing on exploring from first principles the fundamentals of blockchains. It hasn't gotten much attention, but I still believe it's by far the most impactful writing on my old blog. Blockchains are only useful for strict global consensus, with the key overarching usecase being objective accounting. For everything else, there are far more efficient and more decentralized options available/to be invented. Being dogmatic about only using blockchains has actively hindered growth for years - to expand the onchain economy we must adopt & invent better solutions, even if its not technically "onchain".

This is very important. I’ve been thinking about global consensus a lot. Also interesting you mention collaborative storytelling - I believe I have built most advanced onchain structure for this over the past few years (SpireDAO). Our governance structure & token emissions do require global consensus, and it’s disappointing how little-focused the notion is by builders. Blockchains are stories; fragmenting this is a short-term way to let market cycles dilute the canonical integrity of a project.

What was previously missing was understanding that you can’t capture most people if you don’t first integrate with where money already is. Purity tests/absolutism always fails.

One must consider if "blockchains are only useful for strict global consensus." For global religions vary; the software exists now to encode human thought into new and - potentially faith-based - primitives of trust.
