The book then slyly turns around and asks "but who gets to define what is and isn't an object/thing?" This is a much deeper and more important critique of blockchain than whether it can be used to mint fake money. It's about who gets to define what's real. This is the heart of the story. People keep missing it, which makes me sad.
(Note that the quoted reviewer liked the book, they just had a reaction to my use of blockchain that I find triggering.) @pluralistic@ksiazki
