This is not attempting to prove something previously unknown, or resolve an active uncertainty of authorship. But if an artist claims ownership over a work/token, and collective history remembers and validates that claim, then you can prove that you own that token.

If something is already known and collectively validated by history, then you don’t need a blockchain to prove anything.
Conversely, it is the previously unknown things that would most need some confirmation of authorship, yet here the blockchain concept fails again!
