RE: 💬 A Simple Explanation Of The Lightning Network For Bitcoin, The Off-chain Solution To The Current Scalability Issues

in #bitcoin7 years ago

it's so weird that bitcoin creator and developers didn't understand the scalability problem from the start and designed it with such heavy limitations

even at the time they could see the transactions carried by other payment networks and know that they had to match at least that capability AND THEN additionally be able to scale into the future

Sort:  

Not sure if they didn't see this coming. I guess they prioritised more on security/privacy than scalability in the beginning. Which is a good thing. You don't want to scale a system that is not secure :-)
