yes, bitcoin is single linked list that's not even sharded. design is very flawed. can't believe these bitcoin followers think it's holy grail of technology. bitcoin can't even handle the current volume well. it requires massive computing power, bandwith, storage at every node.
- DaiPlusPlus 9y agoBTC is designed to evolve. If the problems you’ve described do turn out to be major issues then node software will be updated to address those concerns. While difficult, I’ll admit, it is not impossible to add sharding (for example) to the BTC Core network.
- martyvis 9y agoIf BTC is truly subject to evolutionary forces, then there is no logical reason to think it isn't heading down a dead end branch. How can you guarantee adding to a flawed technology won't see that "value" unravel , especially if something fundamentally different come along that solves the problem set without carrying legacy baggage or leaving collateral damage that each "fork" by definition must incur?
