Have you any argument or is that your best shot?
Argument was settled years ago when you decided to stay poor and forked off from the hardest money ever created
Remind me, what was the argument in favor of keeping blocks perpetually at 1MB every 10 minutes?
Why was that decided as the permanent maximum allowable transaction capacity?
What made you decide that limiting scalability was the way to go, rather than to scale with demand?
They're 4MB, but thats too high, should have never negotiated at all
Bitcoin has no scaling limitations, you're misinformed
Misinformed how?
Blocks are not 4MB. The artificial 1MB limit in the code is still there in the Bitcoin Core software.
BTC also invented a new term - vByte (which isn't used in ANY other computer application) - to be able to say blocks are 4MB when they are not.
SegWit just made it so that signature data "doesn't count" toward the 1MB limit so it can fit more transactions into the 1MB space.
You still didn't answer my question. Why was that decided as the optimal limit?
We are all walking around with 5G smartphones and streaming Netflix. Broadband is everywhere. If you are a serious miner there is no reason you wouldn't have the infrastructure to handle 32MB or 128MB blocks every 10 minutes. If you are a normal user there is no reason to download and maintain the entire blockchain when you can use public nodes. So why was 1MB / 4MB chosen as the optimal value and why is this a forbidden question that you can't answer?
