Okay, we've all heard that the data is stored on the blockchain forever and it can not be manipulated..
But from what I know, only hashes are stored on the blockchain since they are small in size (few bytes). No blockchain is capable enough to save MBs of data.
Now, here's my question. What good are these hashes? :/
Let's say medium.com integrates the blockchain tech and save all articles on it. And after some time Medium goes offline.
Now the users want to retrieve their posted content but all they have are the hashes. How do they retrieve? :?
