Is Bitcoin straying from its essence? 🛡️
In the crypto world, simplicity is strength. Experts today, led by Jimmy Song, are calling for a return to a "conservative" approach in Bitcoin software updates.
Why this concern?
The goal is to maintain the decentralization of the network. The larger the amount of non-cash data (such as media files), the higher the cost of running a "node." If the cost becomes prohibitive, individuals will abandon running them, giving control only to large entities! 📉
Key points:
* Golden principle: If the change does not improve Bitcoin's functionality as a whole, it is unnecessary.
* Data conflict: Strong opposition to increasing the amount of data in transactions to maintain the lightness of the network.
* Notable shift: A significant exodus of users towards the Bitcoin Knots version in protest of recent updates to the core version.
Decentralization starts from your simple device, and protecting it is protecting your investment. 🔐
