> What value is the property deed?

Its value is that it is proof of ownership certified by whichever county officer has the job to do these things.

> The house has the value - what's the property deed worth?

Literally nothing since anyone can show up at the county office and get a copy. They don’t even ask for ID because it’s a public record.

> If you have the property deed, are you the house owner?

No, the property deed is an official record of the property owner.

With the deed you can prove you own the property but even that isn’t ironclad which is the whole reason there’s a title insurance industry. Which, and I’ll give you this one, could be the only valid reason for “blockchain” in this whole argument but would require having every historic property transaction already on chain or you’d just be where we are today.
