I've talked to my colleagues that one thing that strikes me in presentations given about any blockchain technology, is that they have a problem that the presentation goes straight into cryptography and smart contracts.

What you *actually* should start with is how the network discovery works. I.e. plain and simple how network nodes find each other. It's not flashy but it is like the first question for any seasoned engineer.

In order to do the secret handshakes you need to first bump into someone else to do your dance.

Personally I think that it would make a lot of sense to have this type of meta-data in DNS attributes. I.e. some means to say that this IP is a blockchain node and the type of the blockchain. Not much else but it could help a lot with low cost.
