The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

git is a blockchain without a consensus model. Once you remove the artificial scarcity component of blockchains the are extremely useful.

a blockchain without a consensus model is just a linked list

Distributed Merkel trees aren't linked lists.

no but they are also a data structure that has been around since the 80s

Eh. Blockchains and git both use merckle trees, but boats and cars both have engines.

Distributed Merkel trees are blockchains. Git is distributed. Git commits are blocks.
