What problem does it solve where? It’s an immutable data ledger. It solves trustless interactions.

Ah, so, like Git with signed commits. Got it. 🙃

Precisely actually. Except with nakamoto consensus on top to order the commits.

Or, you know, you could just use a web of trust. Like money IRL works.

Fiat money is devalued by the issuer to benefit them. And there’s no web of trust. You trust the issuer or you don’t.
