If you are gonna downvote, say something.

I can't tell if you're downvoting because you saw the word "blockchain", or you really love it.

I'm using quotes in the title, because I suspect a major amount of people use the word "blockchain" loosely to refer to other related things. If you are willing to, please provide a definition of what you mean by "blockchain" as well.

I think some of the downvotes are from the very biased phrasing of the question. You've managed to phrase it in such a way that Blockchain bros and their detractors can both respond strongly in the same direction.

I suspect a more neural phrasing would not illicit such widespread dislike.

The phrasing is intentional. I do just want to see the reasons of hating it, and I think despite the downvotes, it's working.
