Hey, not really tech knowledgeable. Could someone tldr what is  blockchain/why it is problematic?? I read ks's release and it seems like word salad, and read over your helpful breakdown longtail, but still don't really understand whats going on. Thanks for your time!

This article is a pretty good round-up of the issues from the perspective of tabletop games on Kickstarter:  https://www.dicebreaker.com/companies/kickstarter/news/kickstarter-blockchain-cr...

Honestly nobody knows exactly what Kickstarter is planning to do with their blockchain implementation. This means the fears cover everything from cryptocurrency implementation (with its associated carbon footprint), to an attempt to dodge regulation (with the idea that the blockchain is 'ungovernable') and NFT implementation (with its obvious grift and ponzi-scheme economics). 

I see, thanks for the breakdown!
