I thought the whole point of the "crypto" space was to prevent double spend. If you don't need to do that then a distributed/federated database seems sufficient. Are you planning to allow users to give/sell their accounts to others? If not then why are you using a "crypto" platform?

Because you get into the issue of who gets the right to modify what part of the database, and encrypted blockchain is supposedly a solution ?
