RE: DevBlog #1 - The Importance of Sidechains

Great article Kitty, I really enjoyed reading this one. As most of us have learned through using the blockchain, especially with blockchain games, it is really a horrible experience to put every single action on the blockchain. It creates a bad experience for everyone all around, even though it's "on the blockchain". Sidechains and side networks (similar to ZENZO's Metadata Network) have shown that there is a better model that allows for the important aspects of blockchain to be kept (validity and immutability), without having to clog the chain, cause users more expensive tx fees, and wait for ridiculous confirmation times. I have never been a believer in a one sizes fits all blockchain, though I'm sure in theory it could be done. By creating specific cases and systems for specific problems in specific industries, I believe this is the future of blockchain for now. Nice article once again and I would really like to understand Hive's overall infrastructure better. If I was aware of it, I could make a nice infographic to help educate other people as well... Keep writing!
