You're quite right Dan, without Twitter being open sourced, it's hard to say who truly Owns what account and if it's truly verifiable or tied to a person, who claims to truly own the account. I guess there can never be a way to truly create ownership with web2 based platform and the fact that Elon decided to democratize the blue tick, simply doesn't show ownership enough.
I like how you and Brian Compared it to the reputation system on hive and how these reputations are truly earned and represents an owner's true efforts on-chain. It was great listening to you both.
