ChainCatcher news, Vitalik, after reading two books on the Bitcoin block size debate from the 2010s, "The Blocksize War" and "Hijacking Bitcoin," shared some of his thoughts on the Bitcoin block size controversy. Vitalik stated that during his personal experience with the Bitcoin block size debate, he usually sided with the big block proponents, and his sympathy for the big block side mainly focused on the following key points:

  • One of Bitcoin's original key promises is digital cash, and high fees could stifle this use case.
  • He does not believe the "meta-level" narrative from the small block side.
  • The SegWit proposal put forth by the small block side aims to slightly increase block size, and compared to a simple hard fork block size increase, this proposal is overly complicated and unnecessary.
  • The small block side is indeed engaging in very inappropriate social media censorship to impose their views.
