Vlad hosts the best podcast in Bitcoin

Bitcoin would be just as decentralized with 16 MB blocks.

Given the speed of development for storage & mobile data, doubling the block size every halving wouldn’t increase the cost of running a node.

ZK proofs can also bring nearly instant sync to mobile nodes.

But the community would rather accept federations & activate soft forks that only a few people understand than follow the path with the best-tested and most understood tradeoffs.

Bcash has upgraded to 32 MB plus dynamic block size.

BTC will never change. Neither will it become fungible nor will it satisfy on chain demand.

It's the most decentralised coin (until it is not) that protects some of the unique characteristics of cryptoassets.

Hege yourself with Monero and if bigger blocks are to be desired, bcash.

I will never understand the obsession of big blockera when the actual block space market (block fees) is really low today and btc has a few users with frequent tx's on onchain. Also I think high fees is a feature not a bug.
