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.
