Lets say this indeed was cataclysmic.

But can you imagine a possibility of building a system where the db that each person holds is not berkeley db or whatever but just plaintext and then writing your own functions to traverse the same.

I'll admit I do not understand the bitcoin core at all because I never invested time yet to read it. But I completely understand the blockchain algorithm and can write a cryptocurrency without even caring about what bitcoin did.

All I am asking you is do you believe that such a system can be built? Or do you believe that the current developers are intelligent enough that if they couldn't do it you can't do it either?

See, it's not even clear where patio11 is going with his recurrent rants about Bitcoin. Looks a lot like irrational hate.

All software has bugs. Despite massive investment, space craft have bugs, passenger jets have bugs, fighter aircraft have bugs, nuclear power plant control systems have bugs.

If you're basing your system on "oh we'll just make the software bug-free!", you have already lost.
