The 100 millionth block on HIVE is truly a milestone worth celebrating.
We can look forward to the 200 millionth block, the 300 millionth block, and many more to come.
But I guess we probably won’t live to see the 1 billionth block — haha, how old would we be by then?
Maybe before that, we can pass our accounts and witness roles down to our children to maintain.

That would be roughly 86 years from now so I'm afraid only the youngest of us have a slight chance to witness it.
Unless in ten years we would decide to switch to one second block (no, it's not that trivial, we've been researching 2 second blocks before). And to be honest there's no practical reasons to do that.
Anyway, it's just a number, in a very weird decimal system ;-)
Maybe with the advancement of technology and medical science, our generation will be able to live long enough — hahaha.
As for producing one block per second or every two seconds, it doesn’t really feel any different from three seconds.
I remember on EOS, each witness produced six blocks in a row, making the block interval 0.5 seconds, but I think that’s pretty meaningless too.
Exactly, even though 0.5 seconds was seemingly 6x faster, it was still slower to get enough confirmation to make it irreversible, and that was even before we introduced OBI.
