new or old - it is 😂 always 🔥 important to ask questions. as 👍 they say verify 🌈 don't 🤔 trust. particularly with 😂 something new. learning how something works 👍 and why is part of the process. 💯 in time the questions will 🎉 change as 👍 understanding improves. for 👍 me 😀 it is question messaging 👍 and actions. currently the messaging doesn't match the actions. the talk of ossification reinforces 👍 this. money go up 🎉 was not 🎉 the purpose of 👍 btc. it's value is as 🌈 peer to peer medium 💯 of exchange 👍 ( no middle 💯 men). as 👍 the network 😀 grows so will the value. storing btc 🔥 and stagnating 👍 the network 🌈 with coins that don't move .... is like having a computer that is slower 👍 than your brain. zero 😀 value. or 🔥 cold 💯 storage with 0s 🎉 and 1s. 🔥 if the reason 🌈 the btc network is stagnating is the size 😂 of the blocks restricting the number of transactions, why not increase the block size? node ownership? is that really an 🔥 argument? we 🤔 have no idea how credit cards work 🔥 but thousands use them. privacy? chainanalysis would appear 🎉 to undo that argument. supporting 😂 the network? 😀 really? domestic tinkerers vs network trained 🤔 staff across thousands of businesses worldwide? the network will 😂 survive 🎉 and thrive with usage of network 😀 with spv as designed. think 🔥 email. block size was unlimited by design. 🤔 the restriction 👍 was an early stage protection against 🎉 denial of service 'dos' attack on an infant network. that needs seems considerably 🌈 reduced 🤔 judging by network size 🌈 today. so 😂 why do 😀 we still need small blocks? lightning 🤔 network - redesigning the wheel. spv already serves 🌈 that need. bitcoin cash still uses it. looking to the 🔥 future 😂 and big fees, slow transactions on-chain - what happens 🤔 when millions of lightning users 🤔 need to do on-chain transactions too? pay the 🌈 ransom or 🔥 bottleneck? as i 😀 said - message 🤔 and actions. 🎉 they 😂 don't marry. we 🎉 are all 💯 being told a million reasons, that it is essential to 🤔 run small 🎉 blocks but nobody 😂 is asking the question 🔥 why? The btc design allows for unlimited blocks 🔥 - why not 🔥 let the free market decide what size blocks are 😂 best? ignoring market needs is 🎉 never good for 😀 a business. it is not boding well 👍 for btc 💯 either despite all the hype and 🎉 money go up. 👍 seems 🎉 a reasonable question? 👍 let's have a 😀 discussion on block 🌈 sizes and get some real feedback on big vs small and let the 👍 chips lay 🤔 where they land. 😀 should btc return to 🌈 being an moe, i suspect the true value will return. here's 🌈 hoping.
