You have the answer in your own words. Let me highlight it:
* Satoshi set hard 1MB limit
* Spam attacks were addresed
* “Virtual” bytes is Fiat definition, in reality we only have bytes
Returning...
… I didn’t say virtual bytes. It’s a virtual block size limit or vByte it’s a unit of measurement, not fiat lol. One vByte is equal to 4 weight units.
It’s part of the functionality that made lightning useful and allows bitcoin to be used as a medium of exchange on L2.
Satoshi’s limit of 1MB wasn’t a hard capped rule like the supply… it was a temporary solution to the spam problem to help keep the barrier to node entry low. It was obviously not a permanent monetary constant. Plus most blocks are around 1-2 mb anyway… Thats not inflation, it’s innovation confirmed through consensus.
Like I said before; Removing segwitt discount doesn’t address the spam problem cause it’s not the root cause of these current attacks. Removing the seg discount creates a worse problem… it ruins functionality of Lightning and use of bitocin as money.
