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!

If it has those properties, I don't care where it's hosted. 🙃

But where is it hosted?  Checkmate centralists!

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

> Robust against attackers who may have billions of dollars

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

Hm, how can a db be collectively owned if it must be hosted on a single centralized service?

It doesn't meet all the checks, but, this DB is awesome

That is very cool! Though don't think it meets any of the checks 😅
