Buttcoin is the future of online butts. Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new butts or tracks butts.

A community for hurling ordure at cryptocurrency/blockchain dweebs of all sorts. We are only here for debate as long as it amuses us. Meme stocks are also on topic.

Careful not to conflate things like hash trees with Blockchains. The former do get used for stuff like certificate transparency logs right now, because it is a sensible technology. Blockchains could do exactly the same thing (because they’re based on the same underlying principle), only with much more expense and waste, so there’s basically no point.
