Calling Bitcoin “... unnecessarily redundant and paranoid” is arrogant & shows hubris... cause no one knows future attacks or what the state will try.

Slow and ponderous? Exactly right. That’s the feature.

Also, I would shy away from the term “blockchain” cause shitcoins often rewrite their BS chains at will. All that matters is Bitcoin’s immutable slow and ponderous immutable distributed database.
