This isn&#8217;t at all true \u2014&nbsp;the problem is economic. This can be hard to understand in a world where the dominant way of understanding blockchain comes from computer scientists who do not engage with the economics and have no idea how to scale economic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this short presentation &#8212; and in tribute to the director whose name is honored as the smallest unit of Saito (&#8220;the Nolan&#8221;)  &#8212; we offer a better way to think about these problems. This method is the same approach to problem solving used in the film <em>Inception<\/em>, which is why our video starts by exploring some of the more subtle themes in Nolan&#8217;s masterpiece before using them to explain how to scale a blockchain without adding poisonous trade-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about actual economics is always a challenge in the blockchain space, but more and more people are aware there is a solution to scaling, and this is it.
