Gun to your head: would you rather see increased adoption through custodial wallets or bigger blocks?

Don't give me cop-out 3rd option pussy answers. Just play along in my hypothetical scenario in which those are the only 2 options.

Or what? You’ll take my nsec away?

Custodial wallets. I’m under duress though.

Gun to my head? I drop to the ground and swipe my assailants legs out from under him. I grab his gun as he falls, then pull his back against my chest while I breath into his ears.... 'not your keys? Not your cheese motherfucker', then pull the trigger.

I’m going with the custodial wallets. I hope they are nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj .

Custody for small amounts, pull into self-custody for large amounts. I’m a “no” on block size increases unless or until quantum computing becomes an issue and demands bigger encryption. Also open to federations, covenants, and other “cop-out 3rd option pussy answers” because one of the b...

I don't know if people who answered custodial fully understand the question. Increase block size and keep using onchain, or, you are priced out of onchain and can only hold custodial. Why would I choose to only have custodial? Bitcoin would be useless.

Bigger blocks Surprised but not surprised by the responses. Custodial wallets contradict the entire reason bitcoin was created - to do away with trusted third parties. There is little reason for Bitcoin without that

If the answer is custodial, bitcoin failed. Been asking for bigger block since before the block size wars.

Definitely bigger blocks increasing as new fabs come online. Should be based on innovations in either storage density or the deflating cost per GB from new economies of scale.

Liquid with lightning on top. Would that be custodial?

There is probably a ratio between on chain fees and cost of running a node (block size) that is an optimal trade off. I'd rather use custodial services where it's easy to set up and run a custodial service than non custodial, but rely on a few data centres to run the nodes.

Increasing the blocksize should be out of the question, at least until we have exhausted all other possibilities. We typically only discover new scaling opportunities out of necessity and constraint. Any increase in blocksize necessarily has an impact on decentralisation (by increasing the cost o...

Easy. Bigger blocks. Custodial wallets mean surveillance, confiscation, fractional reserve, trading against the customers/population. Store of value/max supply doesn't mean anything when governments allow entities to go fractionally. Especially if 99% of activity takes place between custodians you ...
