> How could amazon ensure that all the products are legit before they are being delivered?
Better question yet, should Amazon exist in this form if it cannot ensure that all products are legit? We quite often assume that the current for of existence is the only way to go about the problem.
With the power of pki and blockchain it is trivial to create a platform (I know because I was part of a team that created one) where traceability is a feature and it is impossible to game the system the same way it is possible now with the current fulfilment situation.
