I wonder if this is inspired by Jimmy Wales mocking the idea that Wikipedia should use blockchain on Twitter the other day: [1] 162.158.214.88 22:56, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

- Never mind that at least one blockchain has images of child abuse written into it... --NotaBene (talk) 02:06, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
