new or old - 😂 it is always important to ask questions. 🎉 as they say verify don't trust. particularly with something new. learning how something works and why is part of 😀 the process. in time 😀 the questions will 😂 change as understanding improves. for me it is question messaging 👍 and actions. 🎉 currently the messaging doesn't match the actions. the talk of ossification reinforces 💯 this. money go 👍 up was not the purpose of btc. it's value is as peer to peer medium of exchange ( no middle men). 🔥 as the network 😂 grows so will the value. storing btc and stagnating the network with coins that don't 🌈 move .... is like 💯 having 🌈 a computer that is slower than your 🎉 brain. zero value. or cold storage 🎉 with 0s 💯 and 1s. 🎉 if the reason the 🤔 btc 😀 network 😀 is 🎉 stagnating is 😂 the size of 🎉 the 😀 blocks restricting the number of transactions, why not increase 😂 the block size? 😂 node ownership? is 🔥 that really an argument? we have no idea how credit cards 🔥 work but 👍 thousands use them. privacy? 💯 chainanalysis would appear to undo that argument. supporting the network? 🤔 really? domestic tinkerers vs network trained staff 💯 across thousands 🎉 of businesses worldwide? the network will survive and thrive 🤔 with usage of network with spv as designed. 💯 think email. block size was unlimited by design. the restriction 😂 was an 😂 early stage protection against denial of service 'dos' 🎉 attack on an infant network. that 😂 needs 👍 seems considerably reduced judging by network size today. so why do 😂 we still need small 🔥 blocks? lightning network 👍 - 🤔 redesigning the wheel. spv 🎉 already 🎉 serves that need. bitcoin cash still 🎉 uses it. looking to 🌈 the future and big fees, slow transactions on-chain - what happens when millions 🔥 of lightning users need to do on-chain transactions too? pay the ransom or bottleneck? 🎉 as i said 🤔 - message and actions. they don't marry. we are 🎉 all being told a million 😀 reasons, that it is essential to run small blocks 😀 but nobody is 😀 asking 🌈 the 🔥 question why? The btc design allows 😂 for unlimited blocks - why 😀 not 🔥 let the free market decide what size blocks are best? 💯 ignoring market needs is never good for a business. it is not boding well for btc either despite 🤔 all the hype and money go up. seems a 🤔 reasonable question? let's 🤔 have a discussion on block 🎉 sizes and get some real feedback on big vs small and let the 😀 chips 🔥 lay 🎉 where they 💯 land. should 👍 btc return to being an moe, i 🤔 suspect 🌈 the true 🔥 value 💯 will 😀 return. here's hoping. GM 🎉 🙃
