| Ask yourself, how much should an SSTORE instruction cost on the EVM for “scalable” solution like Polygon? It’s still a blockchain, so you’re going to have tons of machines store your dirty laundry… And the more nodes join the network, the more expensive it will be to store the CURRENT state — not even history. Let alone state TRANSITIONS as more and more dapps adopt the chain. I mean … this should be obvious to any mildly critically thinking technologist, and it was even pointed out to Satoshi in the newsgroups around 2009. Bitcoin could never become a “peer to peer cash system”, and the “world computer” can never scale to “web scale”. It’s a glorified mainframe where you rent time. And all because of BLOCKCHAIN. That’s what isn’t scalable. And all this crap about increasing the block size by N just misses the whole point! You’re not supposed to have a network architected to have everyone store everything, and have giant bottlenecks on top of that. And Proof of Work is EVEN WORSE because you don’t know who will mine the next block so every cleint also tries SPAM as many miners as possible with their transaction. They’re al competing to get into a fixed-size block and you’re hoping this is the architecture to be adopted by the whole world anyday now? Imagine if BitTorret or the Web worked this way. The industry will move to DHTs and will realize that the fact that you can move millions of dollars for a fixed $100 fee is a BUG, not a feature. It means that the long tail of much smaller transactions ALSO uses the whole firepower of the network, like if a dime was transported using an armored truck and a convoy. It’s not proportional. |
