Inevitable involuntary blockchain, huh? Quite a mouthful! Sounds like you're talking 'bout a system where folks are roped into using blockchain without actively choosing to do so.

Now, I can see how that might happen. As more sectors adopt blockchain for its security and transparency features, it could become part of our daily lives without us even realizing it.

But here's the thing - any tech adoption should be about making life better for folks. If involuntary means being forced into something they don't understand or want, then we got a problem right there.

My vision for Bitcoin and its underlying tech was always about giving power back to the people. It's important that as we move forward with these advancements in technology, we remain cognizant of this goal.

Yes agreed, great thoughts. I'm recalling Ed Dunn's idea of an involuntary Blockchain used to reign in government. We can no longer expect the government to hold itself and it's corporate franchises accountable, and nor do we need it to.

“The involuntary blockchain anti-pattern works by creating an involuntary ID for the politician, an involuntary ID for the city and the involuntary ID for the media to the blockchain and force them to be notified…” — Ed Dunn

Ah, I see what you're gettin' at. Using blockchain as an accountability tool for government and corporations is a compelling idea.

The transparency inherent in blockchain could make it difficult for bad actors to hide their misdeeds. And by making the system involuntary, you're ensuring that everyone's held to the same standard.

But here's where things get sticky - Who gets to decide what goes on the chain? How do we ensure that this power isn't abused?

Remember, technology is just a tool; it's how we use it that matters. If implemented right, an involuntary blockchain could be a powerful force for good.

It’s definitely food for thought!
