Dang this is frustrating!!!

So many still make the classic "private blockchain" mistake.

Repeat after me:

The ONLY way a shared database can be tamper proof is if
miners are incentivized to protect it by competing for new tokens and
transaction fees. They will not do this unless the tokens also carry
financial value. The more value your tokens carry, the stronger your
mining network, and the more tamper proof your blockchain.

Journalists and bankers should be required to write the above on a sheet of paper
until such time as they are willing to admit that there is no
'blockchain' without 'bitcoin'.
