IPV6 becomes supercharged when you layer it with the original Bitcoin protocol. It integrates Cryptographic Generated Addresses in IPV6 which is an extension that has been around for awhile but never implemented.

Here is the founder and chair of the IPV6 forum giving a speech about it just a couple of weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE3Vsbo1NPs

Really cool engineering things are being worked on in the background.

Think a new IP address for every packet.

Think on solving BGP vulnerabilities through micropayments.

Originally, Bitcoin had no limits in place including the block size. That was added later.

The original protocol scales to trillions of transactions per second. The secret is the Merkle tree and the block header. The block headers only take up megabytes and are easy to keep track of and distribute.

Simplified Payment Verification was outlined in the whitepaper.

The protocol is meant to be used between peers, not between users and nodes.
