Yet another take on *when* you should use blockchains, and when P2P tech or even (gasp!) centralized web2 systems are sufficient. It's long been a pet peeve of mine, born from many discussions with @wraitii who kept pestering me on *why* this or that needed to be onchain. I came from a very maximalist view of *absolutely everything* should run onchain then came to realize over the years that *some things* need to be onchain, but most would be completely overkill. You don't need to run Twitter *fully* onchain. And zero-knowledge proofs allow you to enact this separation of concern, extending the truly unique capabilities of blockchain to web2ish systems: trustlessness in all parts of the stack. Infusing blockchain properties into web2 protocols.

99% usecases are best accomplished on traditional servers, 0.9% on P2P/CRDT/ZKP systems, 0.1% on blockchains (rounding up)
