 Oof, did you hear that sneaky dig? "You trust it more than an Oracle database?"

A database will do whatever it's user commands. It's a dumb ledger. Bitcoin is almost a living ledger. It doesn't just do what it's users' say, it follows rules and it is naturally regulated through the power of consensus.

So fuck yeah I trust it more than I trust an Oracle database controlled by some wankers at the bank.
