2021 road map: Busting small blocker myths about Bitcoin and others
This will be the anchor article to break the myths this year 2021, there are some myths about how Bitcoin cannot scale or cannot otherwise work as Satoshi intended.
These myths were successfully used to stall the scaling and adoption of Bitcoin, until Bitcoin Cash present days.(well, came about through the blood, forks, drama and tears of a lot of the early adopters and proponents of free tax on-chain scaling).
I will be updating the list of myths as this progresses, based on the community's feedback in comments section.
