The greatest challenge that new blockchains must solve isn’t speed or scaling – it’s governance. Nobody Else Has Either Governance: Easy to Define, Hard to Achieve There wasn’t much thought given to on-chain governance when bitcoin was created; Satoshi was too busy reinventing the wheel on several other fronts.
