Houston...we have a problem

"our analysis shows that certain content, e.g., illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal."

Nail... Coffin...

It's a big problem no doubt.

Not even for BTC, but for the blockchain! That is/was the valuable part of the business.... but if illegal docs are stored in there and for it to work you need the entire chain on your pc/storage... that's just nuts... nobody innocent would want to be involved with that, surely.

I didn't even know you could attach stuff to the BTC chain, I thought that was Ethereum's thing...
 
Has this hit the BTC community yet? Since when was this known?

EDIT. Yes, about 20+ hrs ago first article came up... seems the community doesn't give a shit.

Some points they make:

- 4chan is still there
- the internet is still there

Basically flawed points that miss the fact that anyone who holds the blockchain for mining purposes etc could be held liable for possession and distribution! Also, they float the idea that it has been placed on purpose by maybe the FBI...
