I feel compelled to ask: "Quick question: is your blockchain written in SQL?" just to disambiguate.

If you get "No, but actually kinda yes, but wait that question is too poorly formed to even be answered" you have someone who actually knows how 1+ clients work at a non-superficial level.

Actually come to think of it BerkeleyDB doesn't expose a SQL interface, does it? That may not be technically accurate. (Blockchain is theoretically a data structure but they're actually inextricably linked to particular client implementations which typically depend on local DBs.)

Probably because that group knows enough to realize they don’t know enough and it requires a time commitment to get educated.

Crypto currencies promise "get rich quick". Most people learned to ignore such promises. Crypto currencies are also a very shiny intellectual toy, like a novel but still theoretical processor architecture. Again only a few people like to play with such toys.

A person who is neither interested in getting rich quick nor intellectual toys, even if they feel positive towards crypto currencies, won't have much to think, say, or emote about it.

I’ve noticed the trend of ppl who don’t understand X but hears a lot about X using X as a default answer for any question Y where they have no idea how to answer. The assumption they are making is that bc they don’t understand X, others don’t and thus they can BS.

It’d be way more interesting if they could go in details, but often time they can’t and the goal was really just to seem knowledgeable superficially. It’s a source of endless frustration and fruitless convo...

Imagine you have a database that is infinitely replicated. Do you not want it?
-
Infinitely replicated—at billion times the power budget of traditional DB replication. If all you need is resiliency against data loss or network failures, it’s much cheaper and faster to rent 100 servers in data centers around the world.
