Who fucked it up so hard?

• StavrosK 9y ago
  All of us, I guess, by not using it enough for everyday transactions. Although it's a chicken and egg problem, and the fact that it's so different from traditional banking that it's hard to explain to people how it works doesn't help.

  The Core developers who refuse to raise the blocksize despite the completely lack of evidence against the smallest increase (1MB -> 2MB). Some even celebrated when the blocks became full and the fees started to increase...

    The bitcoin development team is * rightfully* extremely cautious and correctly moves extremely slowly. That's a GOOD thing. I don't want "move fast and break things" with bitcoin.

      No it's not a good thing. When it takes too long you stop being cautious and start being incompetent. The "1MB block issue" has been going on for years yet they haven't even come up with good (or any) research for an optimal block size.

        For multiple years people tried to make research for "online money" and couldn't.
