And just why would a living Will need to be on the blockchain for 5000 years, or what could you have that is so important that every node needs to have it forevermore as long as the system carries forward?

A note to a great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand child perhaps? With immutability forever, there's a lot that can be done.

Things evolve, I'm definitely probitcoin but assuming in 5,000 years reading that data would be something your distant relative would be able to do or think to makes no sense. Why not go check some hieroglyphics to see if someone left you a note.

That's an entire field of study. People have spent their entire lives deciphering ancient languages.

I know that people have done it, but that's not really the point of Bitcoin and the cost per byte is higher with Bitcoin than altcoins. You could do it to cheaper altcoins or forks but then you run into the issue on them being around long-term. (I believe someone put Windows XP into the bsv blockchain?, And eth has an asic drawing in it's chain?)

Think 5000 years from now. Altcoins probably won't survive that long.

So... you want to write blockchain spam, ie a written message to the blockchain?

Because buying a coffee with bitcoin isn't spam /s

Like a living will?

That's a lot of coinage. How do I do that cheaply, and immutably easily with Bitcoin.

Something someone could access if only bitcoin was alive; and nothing else. So, that rules out just the checksum/hash for storage.

Zip? Rar?

So... you want to write blockchain spam, ie a written message to the blockchain? Maybe a compressed file base64 enocded? (brings memories). Obviously something so ancient as zip or rar is unfit for this age, you should go with xz
