I was wrong about my initial impression but also possibly on to something as it pertains to the hash tree that could be created with Blake.
Hash / Merkle Tree Concept
Rather than just creating an appended list (sort of like blockchain) and then adding an additional operation that merely hashes the last input, it feels like it would be prudent to have all of the values hashed together in some capacity.
So that means:
1) H = x
2) H(x)
3) H(H(X))
4) H(H(H(X)))
There's something that's missing in this construction.
Only way that this could work is if the generator of the hash chain kept at least a few values secret.
But it is impossible for this to be done in a way where all of those values are kept secret and this be seen as externally valid.
The only other way is to ensure that all of the values are public. But if you must do that then you need to devise another method that will require people to remain honest bc you've trapped off their avenues for "cheating".
This is why the write-up on the way that time is calculated on the blockchain is extremely fucking important - it is an objective source of randomness that keeps everyone honest if it can be adhered to.
The idea that I had about the UNIX time tracking was interesting, but ultimately one critical underpinning here (hmm...)

Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
