You are deliberately torturing the word consensus just to make a straw man argument against crypto. The original Bitcoin block chain exists and everyone agrees where it is and how long it is. The fact that someone can create a copy and tinker with it with their own group of friends has no effect on the real chain. Anyone can fork it. That's not a technical limitation or flaw in any way even if you try to make it out to be.

Blockchains have solved the technical challenges of coming to consensus. They did not solve the political challenges of bringing Republicans and Democrats together in a consensus. Sorry about that. Maybe in the future.

It is hardly a straw man. Which Bitcoin blockchain fork is the "original" blockchain? Which one is the real Ethereum blockchain?

[Sargos]

The one listed as "Bitcoin" and "Ethereum" on exchanges for sale. It's pretty unambiguous.

Ah, so consensus is actually just a codeword for mob rule? I'd say it is pretty ambiguous and if I thought Bitcoin Cash was the real bitcoin, I'd be pissed at the "Bitcoin" fuckers stealing the name...
