The advantage of the blockchain is that we have well tested clients and api already, dealing with ID, logs and sync, with a huge number of nodes.

And you do need trust for distributing software.

You can't use git, it's hard to sync automatically. Torrent is a nice transport, not a db, and can be use to sync blockchains anyway, why make them exlusive ? And using any distributed db would exclude the field tested solution on millions of wallet that prove to work, and the api that is alreay well supported.
