Perfection is the enemy of good.
Bitcoin was always "good."
The pursuit of perfection is the reason BTC, BCH and BSV look they way they do, and it's the reason there are thousands of other chains too.
Optimizing for specific uses always comes at a cost of other variables, and a well-engineered system will optimize for the most stable and scalable, general-purpose rules.
This is why bitcoin was good.
It's also why BSV is good.
BTC made massive trade-offs in order to optimize for lots of little nodes, and I have argued that those trade-offs aren't worth the cost, and it's why BTC's existence has not disrupted anyone from finance, banking or payments out of their jobs.
There's a big lesson here.
