I don't think there is much change, some bans just take time and some just slip through. If you find another plagiarised post - report again. Or find another Legendary to point your fury at
Also might be partially my fault. I've been reporting a lot of posts lately while testing my antipasta script so there is probably quite a bit of backlog for the few global mods.
I guess I'll dig a little more and find more evidence, so we gonna see what happens.
Another case, this time is not a Legend, just a Jr. coming closer to Member I was about to give merit to but some of the posts are a bit suspicious. I really hope he wrote them based on his knowledge and not the ability to copy/spin/paste the text.
I try searching for phrases but didn't find anything similar, maybe someone can give it a try.
Scalability is a word that should most likely have come across on our journey into cryptocurrency.
Scalability is the ability of a system to conviniently expand and accommodate growth and increase in scale
A basic example would be the human stomach, it's an organ that comfortably expands to accommodate as much food as we can take in, and never does it get to point that stomach all the way to oesophagus gets filled and we can take in no more.
Scalability issue is faced in may technologies and businesses and it comes in different forms and the blockchain technology, more specifically, the bitcoin blockchain technology, is not an exception.
Unlike the human system which disposes of food as waste, every transaction made on the blockchain is stored on the system.
Bitcoin transactions operate on a POW algorithm and are confirmed by miners, who compete individually for the confirmation of the next block in the chain until the transaction is completed. The block size is 1MB, and that's the amount of transactions that can be stored in it.

Bitcoin has evolved on different frontiers over the years; project development, value, public opinion, government interest, and of course there's the nay sayers constantly puzzled while it's still existing and always predicting it's end.
Early days (2009 - 2010)
Bitcoin did not always receive this attention, it was launched in January of 2009, by Satoshi Nakamoto few months after the domain name bitcointalk.org was registered. Most of its users then we're tech inclined individuals some who did it for fun as a hobby
Bitcoin had it's first ROI in mid 2010 as it gained parity with the USD. After then it experienced a steady rise in users and the community started to grow. The first major setback came in August 2010 when an error in the system which allows users bypass economic restrictions was exploited and 184 bitcoins was generated.

Bitcoin is often referred to as a currency. And the general name 'cryptocurrency' giving to all digital assets presents them as currencies although having a deeper meaning, hence
cryptic currencies~snip~
What are the limitations of bitcoin? Bitcoin as a payment option faces a huge problems in government restrictions, adoption limitations and scalability.
With its tps being in the range of 3.3 to 7 transactions per second it can hardly compete with government controlled forms of transactions like VISA with an average of 47,000 tps.
But bitcoin was not created to compete but rather serve as an alternative to fiat currencies (and maybe commodity money also) and give users total control over their assets. Though with such a growing community there has been lots of suggestions on how to tackle the scale limitations. And many propositions this far, such as hardforks and Segregated witness, popularly called segwit
https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Amp/Segregated_WitnessBitcoin Cash which was launched last year increased a blocksize to 7MB. There is still yet to be a consensus to approve Segwit.
