Ridiculous story. When was the last time you heard of a newspaper going under because its stories weren't "written permanently into the secure digital ledger known as the blockchain"? Newspapers are dying because other kinds of companies ate their advertising revenue. We can add the Denver Post to a list of old-guard companies desperately grabbing for blockchain straws on their slide to oblivion (Long Island Iced Tea, Kodak). I'm all for innovation in applied cryptography. But these desperate stories of blockchain cargo-cultism need to stop.
