RE: Shouldn't Bitcoin become the new "Gold Standard" and forget about speeding up transactions

in #money7 years ago

I'm not sure full blocks are such an issue.
They delay cheap transactions but they make mining very lucrative, keeping the arms race going strong.
There may have been a threat that would have destroyed the blockchain entirely, but wasn't viable because of the high difficulty.
We may never even know about it.
