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.
