RE: Posting Anxiety? Stop having it!
"Each word that you write down on a blockchain is forever etched on that same blockchain"
Is it, really? Remember that article I posted on Telegram yesterday, to which no one answered? Where's the original content of that? Something's fishy.
I was looking into that, and I am still looking into it tbh... I also didn't find the unedited post, but there must be something, maybe back then only posts with 7 days were etched on the blockchain forever, which means that any edit before the 7 days wouldn't be on the blockchain... I really don't know, I also find it weird, but I'll check with my sources and see if I can find the original
Nope. What's in the blockchain should be there forever. Like you see, my old posts have an Edit History:

If there are edited posts which don't have an Edit History, then someone has tampered with the blockchain... or this isn't a blockchain at all. Whatever the answer is, it's very suspicious.
Are there users who can replace an original transaction altogether, making it look like the original information was never there? If yes, then what level of trust can we put into this "blockchain"?
You are comparing a transaction from 1 year ago to one days ago, I think things have changed... I think that back in the old days most edits were stored for 7 days on a central server and only the final version went to the blockchain, thus making the blockchain less space heavy, but also no edits could be seen, now with the increase in space and increase in tech every edit is kept on the blockchain. But I'm not sure about this... I still remember how posts could only be edited in 7 days, if not they would never be changed.
