      @davidgerard @ahcastor not vaguely related! I'm trying to shift the terms away from means to ends and ownership. Ironically, insurance-co-backed startups are "disrupting" little when it comes to ownership, & the actual activists trying to change the laws... are also open to v diff blockchain solutions.

    @davidgerard @ahcastor i agree that all those companies you wrote about are selling snakeoil, which is a real pain because the only people doing good work can easily end up tarred with the same brush!

      @davidgerard @ahcastor I'll make my "therefore" explicit: whether or not someone demands EHR legal reform is a better litmus of how useful their system will be than whether they find some utility in blockchain of some kind. Any blockchain that works in the current US legal framework is centralized in

        @davidgerard @ahcastor all the worst ways, because the current laws (and the data standards) favor centralization in the hands least incentivized to empower patients or doctors

          @davidgerard @ahcastor I don't disagree with anything in your piece and am not a member of the Blockchain Debate Team! I want more blockchain projects to partner with legal reformers in the sectors they're trying to "help". Tech can't magically decentralize what law, and/or $$$, actively centralizes!
