Author of post here. Much appreciate this comment.
My personal TL;DR is probably more like "blockchain, bleh". I think it's a dead end, for social ⋃ technical reasons. But I know and respect folks holding out hope and putting in time. I wouldn't pull the plug on them.
But the burden's still on them to meet and exceed extant standards. No public policy regressions tolerated. If you want deregulation, fine. Argue that across the board and compete.
