The Blocksize War: The Battle Over Bitcoin's Protocol Rules Background: A dispute over the size of Bitcoin blocks, which store transaction data. Key Players: Big Blockers: Advocate for larger blocks to increase transaction capacity. Small Blockers: Prefer smaller blocks to maintain decentralization and security. Arguments: Big Blockers: Larger blocks allow for more transactions, reducing fees and congestion. Small Blockers: Larger blocks make the network more vulnerable to centralization and attacks. Outcome: A compromise was reached in 2017, increasing the block size to 2MB. The debate continues, with both sides advocating for their preferred solutions.
