>>106133973>But I don’t think future optimizations will offer much, on the contrary,Of course they will, an innovations like ZK compression is an absolute game changer. You could in theory validate the state of an entire blockchain with a single proof that's well bellow 1MB in size.
>>106134696>That’s good and not so good. It’s a major change and something that’s supposed to be money shouldn’t change so significantly every so often.Crypto is software. Software that hardly or never updates becomes obsolete as the operating environment changes over time. If Bitcoin had actually implemented all proposed privacy upgrades then Monero wouldn't have been able to come along and offer something new and improved to a needy market.
>This is why a lot of people prefer BitcoinPeople don't actually use Bitcoin as currency anymore. Too slow, too expensive, too transparent.
>Hard forks are not trivial and they may break something or introduce a plethora of critical bugs. I shouldn’t have to sweat buckets with every Monero releaseThat's fine, you can stick with the coin that doesn't evolve and can't adapt to new challenges.
