voodoosurfer··on BitFS: The Bitcoin File System
Except your Google calendar entries can't be monetized in perpetuity. Remember, every file put on chain is linked to a wallet address. Imagine creating a viral meme and getting fractions of a penny each time it was re-posted somewhere. That's where this is all headed.

It works by embedding data inside of transactions. Really next level stuff, check this out:

It is BitCoin. Same address space, same hashing algorithm, same consensus rules.

BTC is just one version of the BitCoin experiment.

Totally!

BSV is the pure capitalist, maximalist version of the BitCoin experiment. If they're correct and it works, things are going to get very interesting soon.

Who cares? It's all BitCoin. Bottle is cool. Unwriter is cool. Everything you said is just political mumbo jumbo that has nothing to do with BitCoin and everything to do with the ideological neuroses of the BTC developers.

Nobody uses BTC seriously besides criminals and hobbyists. You can't blame them for making a more efficient version of the same system.

OP_RETURN data can be pruned, actually. Miners/node owners can decide for themselves if they want to keep the data; eventually a market will emerge for such a service, but for now the blockchain is small enough that it's not a problem.
