ever heard of IPv4 and IPv6?
thats a more suitable analogy to the blocksize problem...
segwit is NAT
2MB is IPv6
Lighting network is UDP holepunching
lmao
Yeah don't you find it ironic that experts had started screaming 'we will run out of IP address space soon, increase it NAOO" since 20 years ago, and today internet is still chugging along on IPV4 just fine?
the analogy fits quite well...
I think IPv6 will eventually be widely used and at one point IPv4 will be dropped entirely. its only a matter of time IMO.
sure we have mitigated the problem with NAT, but its has only delayed the problem ( and created a bit of a headache for network apps. )
just like 1MB blocks we can mitigate the issue by using LN, but in the end eventually 1MB is simply not be enough space.
i think the moral of the story is to design things in such a way that they dont have limits, or put in place retardedly high limits.
you think 4billion IP address is enough? think again
you think a 3 lane highway is enough? think again!
