"Sorry Mr. Anderson, the house you've been living in for twenty years now belongs to Ms. White. The blockchain has decided. You have to vacate your house in two weeks."

"But... your honor, that's preposterous! The Californian Blockchain Deed Corporation was hacked last summer, and we all know their private key was stolen! I'm a simple man, I don't even know what's a 'private key,' how could the system do this to me?"

"(clears throat) You Honor, my client, Ms. White, has already sold her house - as we all know the transaction is irreversible. If Mr. Anderson doesn't cooperate, Ms. White will be homeless in two weeks. We respectively request the court to proceed with the decision."
