Bahahaha
I love this guy’s sense of humor
Of course it’s all tongue in cheek, but where is the line drawn? I thought the abortion question was solved by the SCOTUS a long time ago?

The author definitely doesn’t like Trump and I dont know about his claim to being a Republican, but he did make me laugh. The stupidity going on right now is absolutely nuts.

Blockchain and smart contracts could definitely be used in a LOT more areas of our lives but as this satire shows, it could easily go too far.

Ran across this and had a good laugh... but then it got me wondering if something like this could be done today

Who would be our Saints? What other commandments could we have? How long would it take to surpass the "church's" wealth? LOL

Proof-of-stake is going to take out the "small" miners and put it ALL in the hands of those conglomerates that have already hurt so many altcoins. 32 ETH stake? C'mon! Fluctuating return? Laughable!

I see a lot of talk about "them" taking guns.. but I don't think that's what the article was really talking about.

While having all law abiding citizens register their weapons on a blockchain-based system would be nice, it's unlikely to gain traction.

However, using blockchain for a national ID system of sorts and utilize it to perform nationwide, state-by-state background checks for new purchases would help immensely.

As would using blockchain to force private sellers to perform quick, and instant BG checks

The current system is broken... people are getting weapons that should never even see one in person. A blockchain registration system could eliminate extensive waits for "complete" background checks. It would take the government middleman out of the equation. It would eliminate errors of state criminal records not showing up in the state search or otherwise being overlooked.

With the right infrastructure in place, gun purchases at shows would still be instant, foregoing the 5 day wait, BUT... we could be sure that it's not a career criminal that simply dresses well and knows how to speak to the seller.

The author brings up some additional points where blockchain could be utilized, yet likely be a bandaid or simply for "show." But using blockchain for new sales and purchases is a pretty brilliant idea in my opinion

I think the article brings up some really good points, but what would get people to register their weapons? Even law abiding citizens may be slow to comply, if at all.

BUT... the idea for using blockchain to force registration and background checks for gun shows and private sellers is a really good idea in my opinion. That has to be addressed and would be a great first step in starting to at least try to make a change.

Blockchain might be the ONLY way Trump would be forced to face the truth of a dem win. Otherwise he will say shit like busloads of illegals were going to each state to vote 100 times each
