I’m convinced that there is a reason from blockchain, but it was like 10 years too early - OR - we’ve already passed the problem it solves and didn’t notice.

Well, technically DVCSes like git use "blockchain" (the repo, logically, is pretty much a chain of blocks that incorporate the hash of the previous blocks - just tree instead of linear dependency).

So we are already successfully using blockchain for decades just not as... currency provider.

Forward secure sealing (used in logging) also have similar idea
