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.
