Why would that need to be in the README? Isn't it the whole point of blockchain?

I think it is actually a good idea to describe the whole point of using a blockchain as suggested. A lot of organisations I encounter don't really have a clue and do not realize that even a traditional database could fill their need perfectly in many cases.

What "it"? Your question does not match anything I said.
