Is a chain is controlled by a single entity then it’s not a blockchain, it’s a linked list with extra steps.

The whole point of a blockchain is that it’s independently verifiable/validated by all its users. Anything else is a literal scam.

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
