Go Bitcoin or go home

Thanks nostr:npub1kwehmfjv3h6kanl9lg587qfplfkluuhpsvjapn3w8pntjvccmr6sstadlk for the zaps. You're treasure. I am feeling much better now :)

Weird SatsMcd. I was just reminded about Tom Brady a few minutes ago and whether he is needed to perform another hail Mary. For the crypto community that is.

How's Ivermectin working out? I bought some but it didn't work for me. I needed to get rid of some inflammation, eye puffiness mainly. Still trying though :)

I buy water. It's expensive. I drank tap when I fasted 44 days and didn't lose weight. Something's wrong with the water. Virginia, in case you're wondering.

Take Two

nostr:npub1cewskadgfwluq34eemwqeuyc5zqkhqadysqyaj9mjv2t4gtcwkxqvxcg7j I am confused as well. hence the thought. I will take another crack at this.

Assuming we plebs can afford more "storage" and "processing speed" in the not too distant future, then maybe we can increase block sizes and stay "sufficiently" decentralized. Mining equipment is "keeping pace" with technological innovation and making ASICs more efficient as time goes on. More hashes per unit energy spent, that is,

But node runners are subject to limitations (i.e., basic home computing capability) when it comes to block sizes and network speed. That is the feature, the killer app, the secret sauce to Bitcoin's success. I know not to mess with that.

I wasn't there for the Block Size wars (I joined team BTC in 2019) but my question is: could we also take advantage of technological advancements, like the miners, when it comes to block size or network cadence? I assume these fall in the umbrella of node runners, not miners.

I just have to ask the question because I foresee this being an issue as more and more people want ownership on the base chain, not just layer 2 solutions. That IS self custody.

Ultimately, it is about learning why Bitcoin is architected the way it is. The delicate balance keeping Bitcoin alive :)

Finally, I will say this in my defense. I am a card-carrying Ossification-ist. I probably would have voted against taproot and segwit. Still, it is good to discuss these issues to better understand Bitcoin. It is not religion. It is understanding. That's all. nostr:note1jcn5se2g5ex4ntdwndzrln0s387wrd5ezyxucq5qewy5zz63uckqt482l9

Lighthouse, hell is other people. I didn't say that. Satre did. I like plebs, perferably of the Bitcoin variety 🤓

Good evening Plebs.

Brace yourself. Ready? Are you sitting down comfortablely? Great. Here goes.

I hate to say this but the thought crossed my mind and now I have to give it air.

We all know Moore's law, right? Basically, computing processors get more powerful and cheaper at a breakneck rate, in layman's terms.

Soooo...if the main worry for the Bitcoin network is decentralization which is plebs having the monetary means to run a node, doesn't that mean we CAN at some point increase limitations of the Bitcoin consensus protocol and still be ok? What level of affordability worldwide are we solving for?

I realize people in the G7 countries can "afford" to run nodes much easier than say in emerging markets.

Don't shoot. It's just a thought. I am ready to be schooled ;)
