The blockchain allows me to cryptographically prove that I knew some information at a certain time. If I was the first person to record that I knew this information, that's a pretty good proxy to proof that I created it. That makes me

You can give me the private key to a wallet, but if I'm not connected to the network to see how much money it controls, that's not much good. Even if I trust you temporarily, at some point a network connection is required. Otherwi
