For example, in the early internet, it wasn’t uncommon for people to set TTL values of their DNS records to 1d to 1w. This was designed to lower overall load on all nameservers (including them) around the world by preventing excessive recaching/requerying.

In BGP, people aggregated route prefixes as much as possible and still do to this very day; it is better to announce a single /20 than 16x /24s. Because *all* core routers need to carry the entire global routing tables, router memory acts as a shared resource.

Our failure to respect or value shared resources risks imminent threat to the system as a whole. Shitty network eng. who do not respect router memory resources (fuck the rest, my own routers can handle it), risk knocking other routers off due to their own negligence.

..as routers get squeezed out of the entire internet network due to ever increasing resource requirements (& possibly even impossible to meet), we eventually all fall victim to tragedy of the commons, where our negligence of a shared resource has destroyed the very system it runs

Now you have projects like Ethereum who are experiencing this very phenomenon and others like bcash where major proponents like
@rogerkver are foolishly trying to ‘onboard as many people as possible as fast as possible’ with absolutely *no* care to the integrity of the system.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -
Just as you can overfish the waters, yes, you can increase blocksize, but at what cost? We must ask ourselves what problem is it that we are ultimately trying to solve.

Even more reason to not bring risk to the integrity of the network due to our negligence. Many other projects have failed (some not yet realized) to deliver due to negligence and carelessness. Silicon Valley motto of moving fast does not work well in this space.

Building
#Bitcoin is more synonymous to building the Internet itself than some web 2.0 or smartphone app startup. It requires a certain level of discipline that most other projects in this space lack in execution or wisdom, I feel.1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes
