What's really weird about Bitcoin is that it's one the most powerful and innovative tools threatening the current ruling system (led by the Fed).
And nobody knows the identity of the inventor.
He could just as well be an extraterrestial for all we know.
An ET who came to secretly and single-handedly liberate the population of Earth.
That ET could have chosen something other than BDB to store the blockchain (or included a default configuration file) ! Stupid pleiadeans !
