這一張照片是東京的錦系町街頭。

那時候，我們在車站旁邊，漫步尋找午餐的地點，附近人潮蠻多，我們的悠閒顯得有點格格不入。然後，突然之間，我們似乎聽到台灣人的聲音…

在東京街頭聽到台灣人的聲音，是完全不奇怪的。因為實在太多台灣觀光客來這裡了。通常，我們都會不動聲色，然後再找時間偷偷觀察，同胞們在這裡的行為。只要不說話，或小聲點，他們大概也不會知道我們是台灣人吧！

那一次，我們就是聽到這一家人的聲音，偷偷觀察之後，才知道是一對年輕夫妻，帶著兩個小男孩來東京玩。小的那個弟弟，還坐在嬰兒車上呢！爸爸牽著哥哥，一手還要拖著大行李，媽媽走在前面，看起來像是積極在找可以吃飯的地方。我們猜可能是飯店已經退房，然後到下一個目的地（也許是機場）之前，必須要先解決午餐問題吧！

由於跟我們家的組成非常類似，最麻煩的小孩子還比我們多了一個，所以，感同身受。看他們的神情，顯得有點慌張，就大概知道，他們應該沒有做功課，先研究好到哪裡吃飯。身上帶著行李跟小孩的時候，要在東京臨時找可以吃飯的餐廳，確實是非常痛苦的一件事。

因為，在日本的餐廳吃飯，有時候真的壓力很大，有很多不成文的規矩。當然，如果你不在乎，覺得被人家看笑話也沒關係的話，那就另當別論啦！某種程度上，日本人除了親子餐廳之外，可能都不太帶小孩到外面吃飯吧！當然，這只是我的猜測，是因為很少看到日本小孩子在外面吃飯。

話說，那位媽媽看起來是非常能夠處理事情的媽媽，她積極地尋找餐廳，走在最前面帶隊，最後，選擇了這一間松屋，也就是日本的國民牛丼店之一。我們就是在他們即將入內之時，偷偷拍下照片的！XD

不過，松屋其實是一間以日本上班族男性為主要客人的店。通常，如果店面不大的話，可能都是沿著櫃台的單人座位為主，少有四人桌。也就是說，其實不適合有推嬰兒車的夫妻，進入用餐的。所以，我們事後只能祈禱他們那一天很順利的在那邊吃午餐了～～

其實，帶著小孩要解決吃飯問題，也就不用管什麼面子問題了啦，解決肚子問題是最重要的。只是，我自己光是用想像的就死了很多細胞，更不用說，如果是我帶著小孩去吃的話，那真的是非常痛苦啊！

事情已經都過了一個月了吧！他們這一家人應該都已經在台灣某處好好繼續過日子了，呵呵，渾然不知，區塊鏈某平台上，有人在談論著他們呢！XD

We are all into this decentralization trend of the 21st century that is pioneered by our beloved bitcoin invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. We talk about blockchains, distributed ledgers, cryptocurrencies or tokens with our brains fantasizing all kinds of futuristic all new world applications. Irrefutable, Irreversible and Unalterable … they are the new buzz words…

Yesterday, when I was hiking on a mountain trail in Beitou of Taipei, an idea came to my mind and I am quite surprised to find out this analogy so I write this post to share with all of you. This statement that I construct might not be very rigorous, but it is definitely interesting and maybe even thought provoking to some… who knows? I don’t know if anyone else in the world has already said so, but I definitely wasn’t aware of any.

Here we go.

What is the oldest form of irrefutable, irreversible and unalterable content?

What possess these qualities prior to the blockchain technology? The answer is …

Yes! Think about it. Books are mass printed since long time ago - in thousands, tens of thousands of copies and distributed to the hands of so many readers. How many nodes do bitcoin or ethereum blockchains have? As per my impression, thousands or tens of thousands at best. Each copy of a book is like a node of its invisible chain.

So, once the book is published and distributed, its content, in some sense, is relatively irrefutable, irreversible and unalterable. Of course, you can always try to manipulate it like what evil miners would do. But it’s also very difficult - you need to take back enough quantity (maybe 50% more?) of the books and replace them with your own version of it, but even so it is probably still not enough as many people might have already read it, memorize it, copy it somewhere… How can you change all that?

Amazing, isn’t it? Books, yes, books! They have already done the trick so long ago without the help of fancy IT technologies!

But of course I won’t call it decentralization as there isn’t much active participation from the reader crowd. Still, there is much resemblance, especially when we compare it with our blockchain of content publication - Steem!

So when you submit anything to Steem, it’s like you have finished publishing a book of your own that no one can alter the content you wish to present. Sounds nice right?

Maybe that’s why authoritative governments or dictators must control the publishers so they cannot publish at will and create a mass that cannot be undo, because the power of mass printing is powerful enough, long time ago.

So, ladies and gentlemen, may I present you,

Satoshi of the 15th century ….. drum roll ….. Johannes Gutenberg!!

The man who invented mass printing 500 years ago.

Do you read and do you think so? ^^

這一間東京餐廳bibliothèque，是位於有樂町車站商圈附近的OIOI百貨裡面。根據我老婆，這一間OIOI百貨，是以年輕上班族女性為主要客層的百貨公司，也就是說，這一間餐廳多半也是這一類的客人為主的。

其實這一間在我們多年前到東京的時候，曾經來吃過他們家的甜點，也就是招牌的冰淇淋 鬆餅。我記得那時候，我對日本的一切都還不是太熟悉，吃到這一家鬆餅的時候，真是驚為天人！被我諭為是這世界上最好吃的鬆餅喔！（因為本人其實不愛吃甜食，鬆餅也沒有特別喜歡）

我老婆當然也非常喜歡這一間店，所以這一次去東京，這一間店就被列入她的必吃清單之一。不過，因為我們一直沒有到這附近，所以一直到行程的最後幾天才來到這裡。

那一天我們匆匆的帶著孩子到了餐廳這裡，還好已經過了用餐高峰期，所以還有一些位子，於是我們就在這裡吃了午餐，然後點了這個印象中非常厲害的鬆餅（一定要的啦）！飲料餐點等，都非常的不錯。不過呢，鬆餅雖然還是非常地好吃，卻感覺已經沒有當年這麼令人驚豔～～ 最後我們的結論是並不是他的味道有什麼改變，而是因為我們已經對於日本好吃的甜點越來越熟悉，嘴巴越來越刁了，而且，帶著一個小屁孩還是會影響享受的心情的喔！

無論如何，能夠來這一間餐廳吃飯吃甜點，還是非常令人開心的事！如果，你對於日本還不熟悉，而且你還是鬆餅控的話，那麼我保證如果你來吃他們家的鬆餅，一定會非常的喜歡的喔！❤️！！
