@schrotthaufen me too 😅 as a computer scientist, I entertained the idea of blockchain as a scalable (it’s not) database. There is no use-case that makes sense for blockchain, especially if it involves monetary attribution. Decentralised databases, such as Fediverse, don’t require every single instance of the host to have a copy of the database. So as time goes on, on crypto, you have increasingly more storage requirements, and computational verification of each transaction (increasingly more energy).
