Early Bitcoin investor laments lost vision of p2p payments
-
12 years ago, Roger Ver purchased baklava for 14 BTC from Mandrik, showing Bitcoin's early use as payment.
-
Ver believes high fees from limited block size make Bitcoin no longer usable for small purchases.
-
Ver was an early Bitcoin adopter but now worries it is focused too much on speculation, not peer-to-peer transactions.
-
Some argue Lightning Network enhances scalability so Bitcoin can still be used for small payments.
-
Ver wants larger block size limit to restore Bitcoin's original use as electronic cash.
