I was thinking that with legal backing, blockchain could be a good record of ownership for deeds. Like NFTs but for physical property.
The history of ownership and the public visibility are good features there.
Yeah who doesn't want a ledger you cannot change, sounds like a good idea. /s
In the case of deeds, i think it is desirable because it gives you an immutable history of ownership.
There are other problems but i don't believe that is one.
No it doesn't. It only works because 51% doesn't change the ledger.
You already have this with a simple database for ownership. It already exists, and ledgers made out of paper predates that.
