It cannot. It is a traditional "big data" problem that involves a large amount of data collection, merging, and analysis.
Blockchain's distributed ledger offers no value-add here. Making it just a glorified Merkle Tree, but that doesn't even seem like the most appropriate way to handle this type of data set.

- Someone1234 9y agoIf you remove the distributed ledge, that's how blocks are stored.
- Arnavion 9y agoThe contents of the blocks of the Bitcoin blockchain (and other cryptocurrency blockchains) happen to be Merkle trees (of transactions, in Bitcoin's case). Blockchains as a data structure are unrelated to Merkle trees.
- Someone1234 9y agoI legitimately don't understand what distinction you're trying to make here. Typically a "nit" clarifies something, but you're just muddying the discussion for seemingly no real benefit.
- Max_aaa 9y agoIt is a basically set of Merkle trees, each with a header.
