Kinda wanna write "How to make a database better than a blockchain"

Simply make a database that is public and collectively owned with these properties:
1. Can't stop me from updating records that belong to me
2. It can't disappear or stop me from querying the latest verified state
3. It can't disagree with previous claims state
4. Robust against attackers who may have billions of dollars
(What else am I missing?)

As soon as we have this magic database, we don't need a blockchain anymore!

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

> Robust against attackers who may have billions of dollars

that is going to be hard without a blockchain, no?

i think, if you cannot get 4th then all of the above won’t matter

All of them are hard without a blockchain! But if someone can come up with a better way, let's have it.
