We're powerful in a way those Kings couldn't even dream.
When we write something, it's recorded indefinitely.
Even if we die and those who come after hate what we've written, it'll stay here; safe on the blockchain, more permanent than any structure, carving or inscription.
Who knows what message King Example the 1st wanted to leave us; if King Example the 2nd, 3rd or 10th didn't like it, it was destroyed.
you're making me nervous here :) Maybe they will mass downvote the account in 500 years because it is "outdated information"!
Every word is there forever, 3 seconds after it's typed.
