Your attitude toward your fellow humans isn't so good, and comes out in each line of what you write. Maybe you should rethink your contempt for humanity? You don't see very happy.

> they did not force you lazy greedy humans

No, if a CEO lies and commits fraud to steal from investors, it is the CEO's moral and ethical fault.

> the fact that some of you believe that this is a flaw in blockchain technology worries me

All of blockchain technology is "a flaw". And thousands of lines of my C++ are in one of the top five blockchains, so it isn't ignorance on my part to say this.

So far, no application of the blockchain has appeared that isn't cryptocurrencies. The consensus phase is wildly expensive, and yet not at all useful for anything else. And cryptocurrencies are almost as old as the smartphone, and yet the only applications so far are "evading government regulations" (what most people call "crime") and wild, unsupported speculation.

Don't get me wrong. Strong cryptography is great. Digital signatures are great. Merkle trees are great. Just not the blockchain.

I'll pass the personal stuff, I hope you realize you're calling another human unhappy when you're saying I have a bad attitude towards others. Interesting at least.

So in your opinion (correct me if I've misunderstood), having a tool that decentralizes power isn't worth the energy it consumes? Is that why you call it "flawed technology"? With infinite clean energy, would you agree that this is actually a good idea or not?
