Trust but Verify: Blockchain Does Both

  Trust but Verify: Blockchain Does Both The core challenge of digital currency has been the problem of double dipping. If a user has a digital currency unit and is clever, it is possible to send the digital currency unit to more than one recipient, both of whom would believe it to be legitimate – unlimited at-will digital counterfeiting. That’s no good. The obvious answer is to have a trusted third party who moderates the system to keep everyone in check.
