RE: How Authentic Is The History We Are Taught In School?
Thank you for the detailed analysis.
The problem with a subjective winner written history is clear and pressing. Do you think Blockchain could help with this?
I posted a little on this subject here:

Kind regards, Lish
To your question;
It depends. If all the people involved in a historic event could, and would, take the time to document on the blockchain their understanding of what happened, it may facilitate the closest thing to a true written history. A decentralized, immutable blockchain with equal access to all people would at least be resistant to censorship and allow all perspectives of the event be recorded.
It would be interesting to have more levels of historical keeping on the blockchain.
Maybe some sort of proof of participation, to be able to record an event.
Or maybe a "proof of non-stake" (i just came up with that), where a story is more credible if submitted by someone that has nothing to gain from that context
Or a consensus level. The possibilities seem to be unlimited :).
Do you think such a blockchain can be possible, regardless of the architecture?
It's a very interesting idea. A proof-of-witness (POW) to an event. It would have to be a level playing field for all participants and have a simple way to compile the data into a consensus that gave a clear picture of events from all perspectives.
Yep, this would be fantastic :)
Does anyone have an idea if this technology is developed by a team somewhere?
