Super ultra mega unpopular opinion that will get me cancelled:
Bitcoin would be just as decentralized with 8 or 16 MB max block size. Even today, we rarely hit >2.5 MB
Millions of people would benefit from it every day. But the reason we don’t do it is political + business related (there’s way too much money in custodial solutions that profit when Bitcoin has high fees that most people aren’t willing to pay).
How well does bitcoin run on a raspberry pi? Is Moore's law keeping up even with the current block chain size?
I don’t think we need a block size increase at the moment. LN is good for everyday spending
How do you onboard LN without an on-chain transaction that most people around the world consider expensive?
Custodial solutions are anti-Bitcoin, you get more freedom using any altcoin.
They can still stack in custodial wallets like WoS until the have enough to afford an onchain TX into cold storage or open a non custodial LN wallet.
Onchain TX don’t work for buying a coffee. LN feels like the way it should work
nah
2015 called, it wants its shitcoiner talking points back.
