Guess what, this idea that the biggest problem with false information is people sneaking onto a server and altering an existing database without telling anyone was always incredibly stupid That is an extremely tunnel-vision-nerd view of what the problem is

Christ the errors and misinformation and fraud you see isn't a result of people "hacking the database" It happens when people MAKE THE DATABASE It's a result of the way information GETS ADDED TO THE DATABASE IN THE FIRST PLACE

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE DATABASE "GETTING HACKED", THAT WAS ALWAYS THE EASIEST PROBLEM TO SOLVE THE IDEA THAT A CENTRALIZED SERVER "GETTING HACKED" IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM PEOPLE HAVE TODAY IS STUPID PARANOID NERD BULLSHIT

When I worked retail, our biggest source of "shrinkage" was stuff not scanning out properly, so the system flagged it as stolen when it was purchased. Blockchain wouldn't fix that at all, it'd actually make it worse because you couldn't easily manually fix things properly later.

From an accounting point of view it makes sense. Accountants would much rather you make a second entry correcting the mistake than be able to erase the evidence that the mistake was made.
