Land ownership records sit in government databases. Always have, probably always will.



So here's the thing about tokenizing real estate on-chain: the whole premise falls apart when you realize the ultimate source of truth isn't the blockchain—it's still the state. They control the registry. They decide who legally owns what.

Putting property deeds on a distributed ledger doesn't magically decentralize power when centralized authorities hold the keys to enforcement. The mismatch is pretty fundamental.

Well said, this is the fundamental flaw in Web3 hype... So what if it's on-chain? If the government says you're not the owner, then you're not.

Haha, you're right. What's the point of putting contracts on the chain? The execution rights still belong to the government.

In the end, it's still a game of power. On-chain and off-chain are fundamentally inseparable.

Haha, yet another RealFi dream gets wrecked. What’s the use of on-chain records? For property deeds and visas, you still have to ask the government.

Simply put, on-chain land deeds are just old wine in a new bottle; the state still holds the ultimate power.
