One of Bitcoin’s weirdest engineering tricks! 🎩✨
Bitcoin did increase the block size with SegWit in 2017 but they can’t officially call it that because of backward compatibility with old nodes.

👉 It actually stores up to ~4 MB of data.
👉 This works because Bitcoin Core changed how block space is "counted" (Weight Units instead of bytes).
