 Sooner or later y’all will realize that we need to save everything to some form of blockchain as memory holes continue to get worse… 
 Check out what Brian Roemmele is doing. Interesting stuff.  
Not blockchain but using ai to preserve internet “memories” 
 On dead bird app? 
 Amongst other places.

 We probably need decentralization but why blockchain in particular ? IPFS seems good for example 
 Ipfs isn’t chain based? 
 I was thinking it's working more like Torrent but maybe I'm wrong ? 
 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 The main concept of Blockchain is to hold data (transactions) forever, impossible to modify or delete. We don't want that in web, an article for example can be modified. The Blockchain usage will be good if we want an archive system. The Blockchain is an archive system where present data can't be touched, it's just possible to add new data, but in IPFS, data can be removed, so it's different I guess 
 I would love to land titles recorded on a distributed, public blockchain. 
 Until there is a big enough EMP to be recorded in tree rings again... 😂  
 ...Then you'll want shiny stuff, paper documents & steampunk. 😂  
 Please start printing and storing everything on the internet. 
 I think we'll have to make do with old books & actual musicians at that point. 😂 
 
 lol 
 But I'll print out the instructions for converting an old 2 stroke to steam.
