How do you make a traditional database immutable? Who controls writes and updates? Well it’s a matter of consensus.

How do you address a consensus attack in an aggressively competitive industry with relatively few players? Immutable garbage is still garbage. Databases are perfectly compatible with any variety of authentication layers.

- zeroxfe 8y agoThat was a fork, not a mutation of the database. You can still today go back and see the history play out in the different chains.
