mindrust, bitcoin does not need high fee's and stifle transaction counts to force fee's even higher..
bitcoin becomes more useful by letting more transactions per block where those extra transactions pay less than now, but where the extra transactions can then collectively total an amount that gives pools a free bonus
EG
instead of
$50 x 4000tx = $200k
there can be with a few code changes to give pools a $200k total bonus(they dont yet even need this amount of bonus)
$11.30 x 17,700tx = $200k
as you can see fee's can become cheaper and more transactions.. .. whilst still being the $200k idiots THINK pools deserve and need
(again for emphases pools do NOT NEED $200k in total fees now or anytime soon)
and these changes come even before scaling the blocksize. and just concern making the blocksize as is more efficient and actually utilised, counted, and validated to meet actual bitcoin purpose properly where every byte literally counts
you wanting to propose strategies of stifling transaction counts upgrades, limiting transactions and make them annoying slow and expensive does not help bitcoin. it only helps do what you now admit to "People who can afford to pay them high fees are paying it. People who can't, they don't have much of a choice... They use something else naturally"
you want bitcoin to be more expensive to transact to recruit people over to other networks by making them think "they dont have much of choice"
but here is the thing, bitcoiners could have the choice, by scaling bitcoin.. by sorting bitcoins code out and make it useful for the masses and less centrally governed, less pcentral points of failure where by it actually works better then now, and be more open and better like it used to be
the only choice is not to naturally try another network
Do you think Bitcoin hodlers care about it anyway? Seriously.
this topic and hundreds of topics like it are proof that people do want bitcoin to scale up and offer more transactions.. infact there are more bitcoin scaling topics than there are LTC/LN recruitment topics.. which shows people would rather scale bitcoin than abandon it for whatever network you prefer to promote
as for medusa, well thats just a doomad alt account, acting too much like doomads cultish self to be a coincidence, its even more plagiarised repeated rhetoric of doomads words to just be an acolyte of his cult.. too much idiocy to even be taken seriously in any way
medusa offers nothing different to any conversation that doomads cult has not already said.
