bitcoin is all about efficiency, without the efficiency it wouldn't be decentralized, and you wouldn't be able to run it. i don't think you understand what "efficiency" means here. confusing mining with bitcoin. we have 10 min block time, we have 1-4MB block size, so chain doesnt grow too fast. everything about bitcoin is efficiency. luke controls nothing, its just a soft fork, fixing what was broken in 2023. bitcoin is different because you can run your own node. and we wanna make it more and more efficient to run it. bitcoin maximizes being a money, this means we always prioritize monetary use and ability to run a node over everything else. it trumps every other thing. bitcoin doesn't maximize for speed, or privacy, or data storage. bitcoin maximizes for decentralization first, because without it, nothing else matters. decentralization requires more nodes, which requires bitcoin to be easy to run and be efficient. bitcoin is different because it maximizes for a monetary network, and optimizes everything for that. again, you are just being gaslighted, by people who don't care about 21 million limit, and decentralization of nodes. or listening to influencers who has no idea about what is happening or what they are talking about.
