" summary

Argues that blockchain is a distributed ledger not just Bitcoin and that DApps are normal web apps whose backend is smart contracts compiled to bytecode with an immutable public interface, so you must publish source plus bytecode to be usable. Explains user flow with MetaMask signing transactions via public/private keys, and cites Brave and the ERC-20 BAT as a working example where publishers, viewers and creators share ad revenue (viewers get about 10%), showing the pattern is already live.
