About this video

Did you know that hasing does not secure data on blockchain? It is a typical misunderstanding about this method of application of blockchain. When you publish a hash sum of your data on blockchain you secure only this hash sum, not the data itself. So if hash is a digital fingerprint of data, then securing it does not make sense when your finger is cut off. Hashing on blockchain helps only to check data authenticity.
Hashing is a kind of anchoring.Though anchoring is broader, as it means publishing any kind of metadata.
