As far as 'who owns what', the blockchain has the final say. This is an underlying concept of Bitcoin.

Not true.  The blockchain is a record of who possesses what.  It is not a record of ownership or title.

If you send me 100 BTC for safekeeping, or loan me your car, I possess it, but you still own it.
