I didn't say pushed out, I said priced out. I believe there's an obvious difference. It is as the network was designed, to be robust. Plus by keeping the costs of running a full node low, the costs are pushed to the users. I wouldn't say that it isn't annoying for plebs like me though.
My apologies , i'm not a native english speaker and i thought the context was the same . Had to ask chatgpt :
Priced Out: This implies that the user is unable to afford or participate due to the high fees, making the transaction network inaccessible.
Pushed Out: This suggests a force or external factor (in this case, high fees) that is causing the user to be excluded or compelled to leave the network.
I diasgree that the network was designed this way . On the contrary , satoshi said that when demand starts to rise , users should not run nodes and start using spv's . The core's mentality that miners and pools are bad is the one that made people want to give the ability to everyone to run a node with very low specs .
And for the possible argument that there's no high demand , look at how many tens of thousands of projects exist because btc can't handle all those transactions or users don't use it due to high fees .
Why don't they build on the "Bitcoin" with big blocks? That would be "more efficient" and more sustainable, no?
Actually they build , much more than just nft's and in extremely higher volume . Maybe you should check it out , things happening in btc now were started years ago .
