Blockchain Trust is Mechanical Trust. It is underwritten by Human Trust in experts, networks, science, repeatability.

Political Trust is a direct application of Human Trust. It cannot be mechanized (like a ledger) until we have fully mechanized The Human.

Confusion between trust as measure of mechanical vs human authenticity makes the idea of a Political Blockchain absurd & plausibly humorous.

money as token stand-in for trust/status in human relationships. blockchain tokens as domain specific money. I don't think its absurd.

Trust is multifaceted, implicit, and time-varying. It cannot be easily computed, and even if it could, it cannot be easily transacted.
