In addition to processing transactions, can the Bitcoin blockchain also be used to show affection?

Block 448,064 of the Bitcoin blockchain delivered a romantic love letter in the form of a cryptographic transaction.

You + I = ฿

The Bitcoin blockchain is the perfect decentralized value transfer protocol due to its immutable and transparent nature. Transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain are permanent and cannot be changed or removed. In addition, these transactions are completely public. These characteristics make the Bitcoin blockchain the best way to store records.

Although the Bitcoin blockchain has long been used to verify more formal content, such as financial records or identity information, this time it has become a tool for expressing love. Someone showed off their love in the form of a transaction in block 448064, as shown in the figure below:

These transactions can be pieced together into a complete sentence:

Dayah Dover, your personality is beyond compare. You are smart and can do things that many people cannot. You are always graceful. You mean the world to me and bring so much joy to my life. Daya, I will always love you.

Recently, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange conducted an online video live broadcast, proving that the video was not pre-recorded by reading the latest (block 447506) Bitcoin block hash, and then responded during the live broadcast that he was not dead.

Not the first time

Yes, this isn’t the first time blockchain has been used as a permanent, immutable proof of love. The first blockchain wedding took place at Disneyland in Florida. David Mondrus and Joyce Bayo recorded their wedding vows on the blockchain, omitting the roles of religious and government officials.

SingularDTV CEO Zach LeBeau and his wife Kim Jackson also decided to immortalize their marriage on the Ethereum blockchain. They got married at ConsenSys’ Williamsburg, New York headquarters on November 2 last year and created a marriage contract and recorded their vows on the blockchain.

However, this may seem unrealistic to some tech-savvy people, but it is not! Thanks to Hudson James, everyone can create a marriage agreement. James himself was inspired by a tweet.

To achieve true eternity, @ChrisLundkvist should record the wedding on a blockchain.

"Love Chain"

In fact, blockchain is the best way to ensure eternity, immutability and publicity, so you can also leave a romantic mark for your significant other here, which is definitely more effective than carving words on a tree or hanging love locks on a bridge.

Blockchain can not only be used to witness marriages, but also to ensure the validity of more details. Gaurang Torvekar and Sayalee Kaluskar not only chose to record their marriage on the blockchain, but also entered into a prenuptial agreement, which was stored in the form of a smart contract.

The two wrote on their website:

Everyone knows that blockchain has great potential, and we thought of using it to solve problems in our daily lives. We are getting married in December this year, so why not upload our prenuptial agreement to the blockchain and resolve conflicts in a smart way? The next time we decide what show to watch, the smart contract can help us decide. It can effectively prevent interference and is the only source of truth.
