There ' s a charge icon in the bottom left <| sep |> do I really need to take such FUD seriously ? As long as a significant amount of people within the bitcoin community and they do exist I ' ve met some strongly believes that bitcoin will lose it ' s decentralization property as soon as we allow for bigger block sizes . then , yes , I believe we should take it seriously . Bitcoin ' s biggest existential risk is imploding unto itself by failing to live up to its promise . I agree fully with that . I ' m surprised the bitcoin value is still as high as it is , because I think most of the bitcoin value is built on the promise that bitcoin as a currency regardless if it ' s onchain or offchain will be widely used for payments in the future . It seems pretty obvious to me that we won ' t get any capacity increases in the foreseeable future , and without increased capacity , bitcoin cannot possibly live up to it ' s promise .
