Does that really justify an entire blockchain infrastructure? This is possibly a hot take, but I can’t help but feel like key recovery as you describe could be implemented on its own, e.g. like hot fix[0]

  Solid - Re-decentralizing the web (project directory) (by solid)

Seriously? It takes five seconds online to find projects like https://solidproject.org (backed by people like Tim Bernes-Lee) that don’t need blockchain and present strong arguments to address the kind of issues you raise.

But it’s an open specification for the web. How lame and very NOT crypto $$$diamond_hands$$$.

The most impressive thing about blockchain is its capacity to create zealots for the One True Way, all others be damned.
