The 1MB block size limit was added by Satoshi in 2010 as a temporary anti-spam measure. He expected it to be increased as the network grew.


Instead, after 2017 the limit was effectively locked in through SegWit and other changes. On-chain scaling was deprioritized in favor of second-layer solutions.
In 2014, Blockstream — a company heavily involved in Bitcoin Core development — received funding connected to Jeffrey Epstein through Joi Ito’s fund. Documents released in 2026 confirmed this link, along with meetings between Blockstream co-founders and Epstein 💥
The result is clear: BTC became expensive and limited in on-chain capacity, while pushing usage toward solutions that are easier to monitor and control.
Real Bitcoin (SV) took a different path — removing artificial limits and continuing with the original design of unbounded scaling and low fees.
Functional utility was never meant to be optional.
The storm is coming. 💥
