No one is advocating putting medical records on the blockchain. That's crazy. He's talking about using a technology like Tierion or Chainpoint to anchor a hash of the data in the blockchain. This can be used to verify the integrity and approximate timestamp of the data. http://tierion.com

The post I responded to seemed to be.
It implied the data would be "distributed upon 5,000+ worldwide nodes in an immutable data ledger", and said it would:
"be there forever" "keep the data accurate and accessible"
I think its legit to call this out. Blockchain is a great technology, but its being hyped as if its the world's only distributed database.

That may indeed be beneficial, but isn't the panacea that is being touted.
