     @lnxw48a1 @skellat "crypto-enhanced" isn't really pinpointing what makes it valuable, the crypto is a tool. The unique functionality in the blockchain is the untrusted consensus algorithm, some manner of verifiable lottery. (e.g. in Bitcoin the verifiable lottery is the Proof-of-Work algorithm implemented as a cryptographic hash)
