    one quote:

    "The blockchain's two core properties, immutability and centrality (i.e. the ledger is distributed, but everyone's got the same one), are actually pretty bad for a social network. People can put awful stuff into the blockchain - doxx, harassment, child abuse, that you can't remove"
