Read the bitcoin whitepaper and an article on Blockchain101.
Would that be the white-paper that said "Virtually free transaction fees" or the one that talks about "Decentralization" because
that is going with the Lightning network not that its the worse move!
Bitcoin is like the grand old steam engines, its days will not last much longer unless they change the engine
because it won't scale and a patch-up of half block , half off-block will not cut the mustard.
Block-Matrix or IOTA Tangle is worth learning but people smarter than me seem to think HashGraph will
be the way to go and maybe the old stream engine could had lasted a bit longer but not with coal reaching
$35 per transaction so just like in the UK the miners have done themselves out of a job if you ask me.
