RE: Blockchain - the Distributed Journal Technology
Good catch Sorin, and one easily understandable by many laymen, once explained. I wonder why would these ISO and IEC guys fall in this trap. The only explanations I could come up with is they really don't know what a blockchain is and take the term used by those who should know it better for granted, or they don't really care. Either explanations are disappointing from organizations which set standards.
As I recently read a tweet from Michel Rauchs, blockchains are multi-disciplinary

Whereas ISO and IEC are expert organizations - experts are very good in their field but nearly clueless in any other field. The likeliest explanation is that the accountants in ISO do not understand anything about blockchain while the IT people who get blockchain don't know zilch about accounting ...
That's why, when expert lines of communication are broken, layman language always works. With the condition that both parties still remember this language.
