 POW is what makes #bitcoin a commodity money whose ledger is constrained by nature. 

Like physical gold is a commodity money with a ledger constrained by nature. 

The base layer is not built for speed, it’s built to be very hard to fuck with. 

L2+ brings speed and more efficient transactions, but without a hardened base layer, you have no real value. 
 EXACTLY!..👍 All these fools that think you can compromise the base layer for L2 and short term gains are idiots.

That's why #Satoshi designed the #consensus layer to rest in the hands of the #virtuous #fullnodes and #Bitcoin loyalist.

It's also why being able to run a full node must be accessible to almost anyone that wants to.

No blockchain bloat. Low #transaction #fees. Those elements are immutable for Bitcoin.

We are Bitcoin..🧡👑🗽
