That does not say anything about censorship resistance, because it does not mean the transactions can be reversed (on the contrary). That's a problem of anonymity (or lack thereof)…

Actually, according to the original definition - https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin/blob/92ee8d9a99... - it does, since blockchain is bitcoin (and vice-versa), and as far…

Don't need a whole website to tell me it is just a vehicle for fraudulent securities.
