BLOCKED
THE REGISTERED QUESTION

LEVEL Gate · CONFIDENCE NOT_ASSESSED · DEFINITION DEFINED
FALSIFIABLE CLAIM
Litecoin qualifies as the coordinated second sovereign rail only if it uniquely combines repeated Fee-Regime substitution, economically meaningful post-event retention, external corroboration, and durable coordination advantages.
STRENGTHENS IF
All four component gates pass without relying on price, branding, or transaction count alone.
