What a shocking series of events that nobody could have predicted.

TL;DR consensus models are flawed in that an actor with enough computing power can manipulate the system. A blockchain of hashes is not in it self flawed, but it can be rewritten if someone overpowers the rest of the system.<p>This has always been the primary fear of all Blockchains, given enough time we are starting to see it occur in specific places.
