GUESS WHO TAUGHT ME something new today: nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a! I hadn’t thought of 👇 before but it’s logical that #Bitcoin will become more decentralized over time bc it keeps getting easier/more accessible to run a node (p339 of #BrokenMoney). I ❤️ reading engineers’ explanations of #bitcoin!

Respectfully, how did you not think of this? This was the entire thesis and importance behind the block size war!

Yes but not expressed in the way nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a expressed it—ie, that node requirements increase more slowly than advances in computer processing, storage & bandwidth. The big blockers didn’t express it in those specific terms during the block size war either—they expressed it in terms of network scalability/transaction throughput. I get your point though—the topics are related, but I hadn’t thought of it in the way that Lyn expressed it here. Thanks!

Can’t wait to be running my node off a tablet! 💪
