On October 21 the Internet suffered a severe Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. In fact, reports say nearly half the Internet was incapacitated with sites like Twitter, Reddit, Netflix and more temporarily shut down. Although the state of the web looks grim, the rise of blockchain technology may be able to deter DDoS assaults significantly.

I would have to say that it is false that the blockchain could have prevented DDOS.

Reason being, there is extremely powerful DDOS available that can knock-out .onion sites, or anything for that matter, with ease.
