INTRODUCING 'BLOCKING': BLOGGING ON THE BLOCKCHAIN


By Marquez Comelab, 2026 March 13



A new form of publishing where ideas, writings, and records are permanently timestamped on a public blockchain.

When the internet first became widely accessible, something remarkable happened: ordinary people suddenly gained the ability to publish their ideas to the entire world.

Before that moment, publishing was controlled by newspapers, book publishers, and television networks. If you wanted an audience, you needed a gatekeeper.

The rise of blogs changed that. With simple tools such as Blogger and later WordPress, anyone could create a website and begin writing. People shared journals, hobbies, technical knowledge, research, commentary, and personal experiences with readers across the globe. Millions of individuals began publishing for the first time, speaking directly to a global audience without needing traditional publishers.

Some bloggers even built careers from it—through advertising, sponsorships, affiliate marketing, newsletters, and by promoting their own products or services.

But blogging also had a weakness.

Most blogs lived on individual websites that required constant maintenance, technical upkeep, and ongoing hosting costs. Over time many of those websites disappeared. When hosting stopped, platforms shut down, or domains expired, countless blog posts—sometimes representing years of work and thought—simply vanished.

A large portion of the early internet has quietly been lost this way.

Today a new possibility is emerging.

With the restoration of the original Bitcoin protocol in Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV), the blockchain can function as a scalable and cost‑efficient public data ledger. While many blockchains exist today, most are too slow or too expensive to store large amounts of data. The BSV blockchain is designed to scale so that data—articles, images, records, and other files—can be written to the chain at very low cost. Its inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto, described the blockchain as a system capable of timestamping and recording the world’s data in a permanent and verifiable way.

In other words, blocking becomes possible when a blockchain can scale enough to store large amounts of the world’s data at very low cost.

This makes possible a new form of publishing that I describe as "Blocking" — blogging on the blockchain.

Blocking is publishing writings, ideas, images, or other data directly onto a blockchain so they receive a permanent public timestamp.

In simple terms: to "Block" something means to publish it on the blockchain.

Just as people began blogging when the internet made publishing easy, people can now begin blocking on the blockchain. Articles, journals, research notes, archives, creative works, or historical records can all be blocked so they receive a permanent timestamp and become part of a public record.

Instead of being stored on a single website server, the content is written into blocks processed by miners on the BSV network. Because BSV is designed to scale to very large block sizes and very low transaction fees, it becomes practical to publish and preserve large amounts of information directly on-chain. These miners collect small fees to record transactions and maintain the blockchain. Because the ledger is distributed across many independent nodes around the world, the data does not rely on any single company, platform, or server.

As long as the network continues operating and miners continue producing blocks, the data remains available.

In that sense, blocking offers something traditional blogging never could: the ability to publish ideas in a form that is extremely difficult to alter, censor, or erase.

Instead of writing for a website that may disappear one day, a person can publish their thoughts directly into a distributed public ledger. Research notes, historical observations, creative works, journalism, and personal reflections can all become part of a durable public record.

Just as blogging allowed anyone to publish on the internet, blocking may allow anyone to publish permanently on a blockchain.

If blogging helped create the written culture of the internet, blocking may help create the permanent record of the blockchain age — a global archive written directly onto the ledger of time.
