Society has plenty of trust functions. If you can’t rely on them, it’s not unreasonable to think that your blockchain evidence won’t help you either. Suppose you post your finding generally, then I see it, and post it to the blockchain timestamped as my own. Then you say, “hey, I was first”. The blockchain is bad here because it’s incomplete. If we mandate that only the blockchain can determine truth, then, if I really want to own that claim, I can hit you with a wrench until I have the private key, and now I am the owner of truth. Trustless societies suck. We should be trying to increase social trust.
