Crypto Tea, a prominent crypto enthusiast, recently shared her insights on the matter via Twitter.
According to Crypto Tea, the Bitcoin network is being exploited by users uploading unnecessary data, causing delays and high fees. A prime example of this is a recent incident where 10,000 NFTs featuring monkey images bloated nodes by 1.4 gigabytes. This single NFT collection has caused significant congestion, putting the network’s scalability to the test.
While the Bitcoin community claims to be resilient enough to withstand quantum attacks, the current situation demonstrates a troubling vulnerability to relatively simple exploits like JPEG images. Crypto Tea suggests that some centralization may be beneficial, as it could help address these glaring issues.
The crypto expert urges miners to unite with the nodes to solve the problem, but she is concerned that greed may stand in the way. While the current demand for Bitcoin may temporarily boost its price, the long-term implications of the network’s inability to scale could be detrimental.
