How to create something Eternal and Constant?

There Are no Eternal Things on Planet Earth

The technological industries develop new ways of forging materials. You can slit metal with lasers and hoist heavy blocks, and high-pressure blotters are available for you as well. But you cannot create an eternal message with the tools provided by the modern world.

Historical monuments were destroyed by humans hundreds of times. Many ancient artifacts are stolen or lost forever. The elder scrolls, rare manuscripts, sculptures, and books are mostly in museums or private collections. Sure, you can build a magnificent building. You spend a ton of valuable resources, people's time, and money. Yet there is no guarantee that war won't turn it into dust in the next 50 years. Some corporations might want to secure the building for their evil deeds. Also, you can lose the building thanks to flaws in documents or bankruptcy of your side business.

People can't see the art of ancestors changing several times since creation. While in the museum, you don't even know whether the canvas still contains the original author's brushwork. A famous painting may show several layers of restoration works. It is somebody else's definition of how the work was looking. It also can be a fake copy instead of the original. You have to look at a masterpiece having no clue how to check the legitimacy of the work.

In the case of manuscripts, drawings, or sculptures, we could say that they live less than needed. Time is eating them out. Contrary to that, you can create things and messages that are virtual. It's easy to make a ton of copies, send them around Earth, and preserve the content from destruction. They live on millions of computers, every country involved. Music, virtual algorithms, or software becomes immortal thanks to the Internet. Compared to physical objects, virtual ones enjoy a bigger chance to see the birth of the 22nd century. All thanks to the decentralization of storage space and its virtual nature.

Why Would You Carve the Message in Stone?

The primary task of blockchain technology is to make information and money accessible to everyone. The goal is to eliminate the addiction to third parties and censorship. Some blockchains (mainly the so-called shitcoins) may go to Oblivion within few months after launch. But at the same time there are chains supported by thousands of users worldwide (to name a few Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, BCH).

Unlike the standard means of storing the information, such as websites, Torrents, or FTP servers, blockchain holds the data on a decentralized network of independent, economically incentivized parties. Blockchain is not about one or ten computers. It is secured by thousands of independent hosts. Today, the most secure and distributed databases in the world are blockchains of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Such a feature forms the blockchain's strong resistance to censorship. If you manage to save some precious information (later referred as message) into blockchain, it won't ever be deleted or modified after publishing. Your text becomes «carved in stone». No one can't order to delete a blockchain transaction. Technically, there is no such possibility unless you turn off the Internet.

Some people climb up the high mountains to carve their name (or leave a love message) in a rock. Such extreme people either want their message to remain as far away from the civilization as possible or want it to be recognized by the other hikers. The message in stone always carries a sacred meaning for its creator and acts as a timestamp.

Blockchain offers such a "remote setting", where you could leave your message anytime. Unlike the mountains where other people can destroy them, the blockchain space offers reliable storage space for your message. Essentially, blockchain is a type of database that only allows adding new information and reading it. It is not possible to modify or delete any records. Besides, the access to the chain is instant and permanent for anyone at any moment.

In 2016, there were only four couples on planet Earth who registered their marriage in the Bitcoin blockchain. Journalists from many crypto news outlets wrote about the tech-savvy husbands and wives. In 2017, there were dozens of young people who did the blockchain registrations. In 2020, there are thousands of wedding registrations made only in America. Only God knows how many such services exist and what machinery they use to store the ciphered information in Ethereum or Bitcoin blockchains.

By recording the registration entry in the blockchain, you enter the tech elite of the 21st century. It can be a wedding registration or your baby's birthday document. Let's see how writing in the blockchain improves your note keeping, and life.

Why Should You Write Your Story into the Blockchain?

Eternal entry into the blockchain is an artist's opportunity to register their works and prove the rights of ownership.

As a journalist, you can anonymously post any exposing materials on politicians, scammers, or criminals.

Moreover, posting a copy of your Main Blog to the blockchain could be an interesting marketing stunt to increase your reputation. Subscribers will see that you won't delete or edit revealing content after receiving a bribe.

Blockchain message is a perfect to wonder your grandkids. Leave them a "time capsule", not physical, but the blockchain one. You can read it either after years to see what was on your mind.

You can put a personal message to the blockchain. For instance, it can be anonymous love note, or even the open one? The message can contain the birthday documents of your children or pets. It can transmit your immense oaths, secret thoughts, or poetry. A hint that you hide in the Ethereum blockchain equals good street graffiti. However, on the streets your message is way too easy to eliminate over several reasons. Blockchain message will last for longer and is immediately accessible to people worldwide.

Also, you can write interesting stories from your life into the blockchain. Because you always want to share such things with someone, right? In case the crowd will love it, they can use a corresponding Ethereum address to donate you.
