    You can mimic any existing setup for tracking deeds and similar, or invent new ones, with the added quality that they can’t be doctored. Once something is recorded, it’s recorded for good.

      Blockchain is immutable but legal contracts usually are not. They have break clauses, implied rights etc.

      I suspect everything can be implemented correctly, but my doubt isn’t technical, it’s legal.

      Think of a smart contracts like a vending machine. You can’t just build one and start selling real things from it. Laws need to be followed.
