It&#x27;s crazy how currently all kind of &quot;tricks&quot; are being invented that would make Bitcoin more complicated.<p>Great hackers who had a real world impact always excelled at making small, logical systems. And avoided adding complexity to achieve short term fixes.<p>The logical solution to scale up Bitcoin is the new Bitcoin Unlimited client. I would be very surprised if it did not get traction. I expect it to become the new standard client.<p>It will be super interesting to see if other, incompatible solutions get traction at the same time and we will see a real world split of the blockchain. My guess: This will not happen. The pulling power of the most popular client will be so strong that everybody flocks to it. And alternative clients will have close to zero usage.
