Good evening Plebs.
Brace yourself. Ready? Are you sitting down comfortablely? Great. Here goes.
I hate to say this but the thought crossed my mind and now I have to give it air.
We all know Moore's law, right? Basically, computing processors get more powerful and cheaper at a breakneck rate, in layman's terms.
Soooo...if the main worry for the Bitcoin network is decentralization which is plebs having the monetary means to run a node, doesn't that mean we CAN at some point increase limitations of the Bitcoin consensus protocol and still be ok? What level of affordability worldwide are we solving for?
I realize people in the G7 countries can "afford" to run nodes much easier than say in emerging markets.
Don't shoot. It's just a thought. I am ready to be schooled ;)
