Cory Klippsten criticizes Ethereum VCs for promoting Bitcoin rollups

Cory Klippsten criticizes Ethereum VCs for promoting Bitcoin rollups @coryklippsten: Klippsten on Bitcoin rollups

Cory Klippsten has voiced criticism regarding the promotion of rollups on the Bitcoin network.

Rollups, according to Klippsten, are being pushed by Ethereum-aligned venture capitalists since 2018 as a means to scale Bitcoin. These rollups involve the creation of additional blockchains on top of Bitcoin, introducing intermediaries into the network. Critics argue that this method does not provide effective or genuine scaling solutions for Bitcoin's linear scalability issues but rather adds complexity through external control mechanisms.

Ethereum-focused venture capitalists believe these rollups could improve Bitcoin transactions. However, critics like Klippsten are wary of this approach, fearing it might compromise the fundamental decentralized ethos that Bitcoin originally set out to maintain. As discussions continue, the debate over scaling strategies reflects broader tensions between the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities.
