The optional rewards program that happens to use a distributed ledger for settlement?

Lets see how that sounds when it is rephrased

“I refuse to use an airline with a rewards program attached to it”

“I refuse to use a credit card with a rewards program attached to it”

But since nobody says that, you lose your mind when a blockchain based one is used? Which is also as entirely optional as the above programs? Which you use as an ad hominem attack to add non-sequiturs to any contribution under the “Brave” brand such as this ZK VPN system which doesn't even use the digital currency? Fascinating, lets revisit this “taboo” next year to see!
