Description

The Fiat Standard Lecture 14: Bitcoin Scaling shows why on-chain scaling has hard limits, why block space must remain scarce to preserve immutability, and how economic incentives push smaller payments to second layers. It also explores how the Lightning Network brings fast, cheap transactions to Bitcoin.
