Riot Platforms Research Vice President: Block size limitations are as important as proof-of-work and are fundamental to Bitcoin's operation

On May 3rd, Pierre Rochard, vice president of research at Riot Platforms, wrote that he has been advocating block size limits for the past decade, and now he realizes that he has seriously underestimated the importance of block size limits to Bitcoin. He said that block size limits are as important as proof-of-work, difficulty adjustment and halving mechanisms, and are one of the fundamental elements for Bitcoin to function properly.
