Re: FACT CHECK: Bitcoin Blockchain will be 700GB in 4 Years
"only a few last blocks are verified at startup, but they were validated before they were written, so everything gets validated. Doesn't it?"
If one is starting up a new node, and only the newest blocks are verified, you are not verifying the older blocks. You are trusting others to have done the verification of the earlier blocks. Ergo, Core does not validate all transactions.
To some this may be an acceptable risk. However, it is most certainly not operating in a trustless mode.

The usual trolling nonsense from you, j breher
If we were to remedy this issue, here's how: re-validate every transaction in evvery block in the entire block chain, EVERY time someone loads up their Bitcoin network. Great proposal jbreher, it'll only take people a few days every time they want to send a transaction, lol. Tell the BU devs to add that "upgrade" to the latest version, then someone might at least think that you believe what you're saying
