Show Notes

No matter how often we cover these ideas, it still seems astonishingly common for new people to fall into the same old fallacies and the same misguided thinking. In this episode I try to cover all the major problems with the "raise the blocksize" mentality, and why its thinking incorrectly about what the system even provides, and most importantly how it provides it.

We cover 7-9 key points and ways to think about scaling, the Bitcoin network, & what the future of it might be given enough time. Bitcoin is the tortoise, not the hare. And the problem isn't about building a VISA competitor, its about building a state-proof monetary base. Lets jump in!
