I've been thinking about something recently and I'm curious what people here think.
Bitcoin does an incredible job of verifying ownership and transactions without trusting a third party.
But when an application needs to know whether something happened in the real world, things get messy.
For example:
- Was a package actually delivered?
- Did someone really visit a location?
- Was an inspection completed?
Most systems seem to fall back to GPS, a centralized API or simply trusting whoever reports the data.
Do you think this is something Bitcoin should stay completely out of, or is there room for protocols that verify real-world events while using Bitcoin purely as a settlement layer?
Genuinely interested in hearing different opinions.
