Bitcoin and Big Blockheads

In this video, I discuss how bigger blocks can lead to a bloated blockchain, which can make it difficult both financially and technically to run a node.

When fewer people run nodes, the network becomes less decentralized, and more people are forced to trust tech companies with their transactions and with not pushing through changes to the code.

Roger Ver was wrong 8 years ago, and he remains wrong today, in my opinion.

Money always scales in layers, and Bitcoin is no exception.

Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.
