Did Philip K. Dick predict the invention of the blockchain in short story The MInority Report, written in the 70's?

From a post I made in Telegram a few minutes ago:

Also, reading The Minority Report, the original short story by Philip K. Dick. Written in the 70's I think.

"...It can be assumed with fair probability that the agreement of two out of three computers indicates which of the alternative results is accurate. It would not be likely that two computers would arrive at identically incorrect solutions..." 

Did he predict the invention of the blockchain? Almost, kind of sort of perhaps.
