Someone looked at git - a distributed version control system that already works, that has been working since 2005, that Linus Torvalds wrote in a fit of pique and spite, and that currently hosts approximately all of the world's source code - and said, "This is good, but what if we added BitTorrent?" And then, presumably after consuming substances that I cannot legally inquire about, they continued: "And what if we added the Bitcoin peer-to-peer protocol?" And then, reaching a crescendo of architectural ambition that would make Icarus say "maybe dial it back a little," they concluded: "And we should DEFINITELY add blockchain identity."

Notice how each additional sentence makes the previous sentence worse, like a turducken of solutions looking for problems, or a nesting doll where every layer is a different kind of sadness. This, I presume, is what happens when you have a hammer and a screwdriver and a chainsaw, and you decide that every problem would be better solved by using all three simultaneously while riding a unicycle.

But seeing as it already does exist, it's pretty awesome.
