So let`s say i want to post my articles on your database but instead of everyone else to see it i chose not to share them at all. (i know thats not the purpose and probably no1 will be that narrow minded) But lets say it some1 will do this. Then what`s the point in doing it at all? 1. You`re not benefiting from it and 2. Neither is the platform i guess. Am i correct in assuming this?
This will be also possible, to keep your articles private. The benefit from it is, even if it`s private it`s still stored on the blockchain to provide a proof of existence. So in case someone else claims to have discovered something before you, you will be always able to prove it.
But the real benefit is to keep everything open so anyone can have access to it, because that will be the moment when science flourishes. In order to create new ideas you need access to knowledge !
We will definitely encourage our users to have everything public because by using blockchain we can remove the fear of intellectual property theft, everything can be out in the open and traced back to the original creator of an idea.
