Wayback Machine in trouble, how about use Etched instead? (English)

The Internet Archive, which provides a service called Wayback Machine, got sued in June 2020 by a group of companies. It's claimed the Internet Archive has violated copyright laws: Wayback Machine and such services are seen by some as piracy and not preservation of information. 😞

Wayback Machine has saved, according to Vox.com article published 23rd June 2020, around 390 billion pages! Etched.page is a similar service as Wayback Machine, except it stores data to the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain. Not every piece of website's contents can be stored for free -- uploading data to the blockchain isn't free.

Etched.page is here:
https://etched.page

Here's a demo of BSVForum.com's homepage stored to the chain just now:
