Bitcoin is fast when not used by spammers posting their cat gif links on the blockchain every few seconds.
I imagine that enforcing an unnecessary 1mb block limit would slow down a blockchain a LOT more than the occasional kitty cat. Have fun not being able to spend your "store of value"
Slows down the blockchain, but at least it lasts. Sidechains are for small payments. End of story.
>but at least it lasts
how does a 1MB limit on block size make a blockchain "last"? What exactly is the BTC chain enduring that a 1MB block size allows it to persevere?
