Something that always bugged me with cardano's Ouroboros is the name. Ouroboros means eating (usually your own) tail, and the symbol that usually goes with it is a snake/dragon as a loop/circle.
Blockchain is basically an ever expanding chain (or tree if you include the shorter branches that didn't make it) so I can't understand the relation to ouroboros loop/circle.
I assume they have a different reason for naming it that but didn't ever find it.
