Part 7/14:
The Challenge of Scaling and Decentralization
Talking about scaling debates, Antonopoulos argued that scaling isn’t a problem to be solved once and for all but an ongoing frontier. He described how disagreements within the community—such as those around block size—are natural and beneficial, fostering innovation through debate and consensus.
He noted that Bitcoin’s decentralized nature—where no single entity controls the network—is both a challenge and a feature. Achieving consensus among diverse participants may be slow, but it ensures the system's resilience and integrity.
