Saying “Bitcoin is not a database” is like saying “Gold is not a metal”

It still matters what kind of database it is.

Otherwise it would be like stuffing your bookshelf with frozen food.

“Bitcoin is not just any old database and gold is just not any old metal.”

Fixed?

The blockchain is an inefficient and decentralized database where work is required to add data to the ledger and mutliple copies of said database continuously work to verify the integrity of its own copy.

No it's more like saying "A car isn't a gas burning machine." It DOES burn gas but that isn't why you put gas in it.

Saying “Bitcoin is not a database” is like saying “A public park is not a shitter”

A ledger is a form of database, yes. But a ledger purpose is not to store jpeg, the same way a natural park is not the same as a city park, different purposes.

So, what are you doing? Are you justifying Shitrea and what is coming?

This exactly what I mean, you shouldn't shit in the park just because you can do it!

I for one intend to stop the jpeg spammers from shitting on my lawn!

Shitrea, LOL!

I don’t know what that is. I just want all miners to have access to the highest paying transactions.

Really bro, that’s all you care about? That these 4 centralized mining companies that make up 80% of the network have access to the highest transactions? Even if it means flooding the database with shitcoins, dickbutts, and any other bs spam they want to pay to throw in there? That’s where your heart is? Short term profits that benefit massive corporations 80% of the time rather than long term health of the network that benefits the whole world 100% of the time?
