Humans are genetics + knowledge/culture.
Wars typically are as much about spreading culture as they are about genetics. Religious crusades are a way to spread culture without genetics.
Humans seem to have a desire to increase both their genetic and cultural footprint into other humans. Make sense really - expansionist traits tend to survive.
What you're essentially doing by putting stuff in the blockchain is tricking people into copying it millions of times. It doesn't mean any of them will read it or appreciate it. I agree with your analogy, but what's the point of it? Some weird desire for your footprint to be larger and imposed on people for all time? I can't think of much more narcissistic than that.
