"We can have a blockchain where instead of a blockchain working like a Swiss army knife where you have five different tools for five different categories of applications, you have a blockchain that understands general-purpose programming language. ” - Vitalik Buterin, TechCrunch's Disrupt 2017[1]
Prior to Ethereum there were separate blockchains for separate types of rules, namecoin for DNS, "colored coins" for tokens, all very limited, restricting themselves to supporting only one or a few specific applications. The core idea behind Ethereum that allowed it to get past those limitations was to have a blockchain protocol with a built-in programming language, allowing any application to be written on top, and its rules enforced by the blockchain, a general purpose blockchain computer.[2]
Hibryda is doing for consensus what Vitalik Buterin did for applications. Instead of following along with the trend of interoperability[3], which rhymes with the trend of very limited special-purpose blockchains that lacked incentive to integrate because there were not that many applications attached to them, BitLattice is building a general-purpose consensus, one that satisfies the demands of interoperability without the need for multiple states, a single state, Gavin Wood's vision of a global singleton (2014, [4]).
The tweet below from Polkadot is where the world was when it came to logic on blockchains, before Vitalik Buterin built a turing-complete machine. Same trend will exist for consensus, one global state, first many then disrupted by one that integrated all what came before.
Very useful for solving complex systems too
Multiple blockchains will exist, but Bitcoin is very likely to be the central store (like a secure battery of power, value -v- electron flow)
that meme is status quo bias, very common
