The key point about Torrens Title is that the legal authority is a register

So (remnant 'old system title' arrangements aside), the blockchain model has no
more relevance to land titles than it has to share-trading.
Speaking on behalf of genealogists, historical interest can be very
important. One can trace various things like residency, asset transfer
relationships, etc. I have found some relatives through triangulating
land patents and transfers from the late 1700s. I'm sure the future will
have similar needs.
That is all.

fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
