Potentially, yes. There are lots of things in crypto land which do not necessarily need consensus and/or a Total Global Ordering. Some brainstormed ideas for these are in the `docs/` folder.
I also wonder: can we use George's insights about blockchain conflicts here? Assume a CRDT based system where participating users have public/private keypairs. The system is initialized with an initial distribution (like a regular blockchain is). Coins change hands when users sign transfers to each other. Is there a way to make such transfers update properly *without* making a block and having a total global ordering?
