My question for every thing that "you can possibly do with the blockchain" is this:

This is the crucial novelty and also the crucial problem of blockchain.

People keep inventing "solutions" for problems that would not exist without it.

Remove the need for this and you are basically describing git also known as a Merkle Tree
