Ah ok....now I see what you are saying.
Two things come to mind on that.
The first is the supply chain industry is working on that. They are embracing blockchain but suppliers do not want others to know what they are doing...hence they are working on ways to keep certain info private.
Another thing is to only put part of the data on the blockchain and the rest in a private database. Like Steemit, the text goes on the blockchain but pictures are uploaded to an AWS (I believe) server. You could do the same thing with data.
Aha! Okay, so that's the bit I need to start learning about... integrated databases... I'm trying to get it clear in my head so I can create a roadmap of things to learn so I can place myself in a useful spot to help develop and implement Ned's vision.
Thank you very much.
P.S) You'll be pleased to know my VP is at 91%. I should hit 100% today... which will be the first time since my very first day. From tomorrow I'm implementing a voting plan that should have my VP replenish each night to 100 while I'm sleeping.
