There were gas stations in Cape Breton that accepted Canadian Tire Money in lieu of cash and they weren't affiliated with CTC.

Sure. Lots of businesses will accept competitor coupons or match competitor advertised prices to make a sale. Accepting Canadian Tire scrip money to make a sale seems like a no brainer: not only do you get the sale, you can keep the scrip money and get 10 cents off your next air filter or box of lightbulbs.

As long as at least one merchant is willing to accept Canadian Tire money, it's essentially real money. Confederate scrip money was essentially real money too, until the Confederacy was defeated.  Hopefully Canadian Tire will be around for a while, I have quite a stack of Canadian Tire money and I have my eyes on a new air filter.

As for the rest of this, I have no idea what is going on.  I thought a blockchain was a martial arts weapon. I apparently have a lot of reading to do.
