I wonder if substituting blockchain with "standardized way of referencing a personal database" would solve most of your gripes. I do feel the annoyance of people trying to shoehorn "crypto" terminology into personal stuff, but I think there's probably a reasonable non-cryptobullshit way (like WebMentions, which are used on the author's site) to get what the author actually wants, which is a way for me to control the data I want to make available to the wider internet, and to delete them and leave gaps when I chose to do so.
