The other distributed version control systems are all blockchains too,
yes?

I find the term "distributed ledger" more interesting, as I store the
accounts for my unincorporated server cooperative in GNU ledger format,
controlled redundantly in git (for my colleagues) and fossil (for me).

This distributed ledger is private, 2.4mb in size (including many other
files, such as copies of invoices), and portable. If my colleagues would
use fossil instead of git, the history would be immutable. I appreciate
the possibility to store far more complex information than is convenient
in Bitcoin, but if I were to restrict the information to what is stored
in Bitcoin, I could represent a transaction history in something like
one-tenth the space that it would take up in Bitcoin.

Fossil is far superior to Bitcoin for situations where you can weakly
trust the other people who are editing your ledger.
