  "map_content": "The reason no one could answer cleanly is that both sides give you flags instead of mechanisms. \"They sacrificed decentralization\" vs \"Satoshi's vision\" \u2014 neither tells you *how* anything actually works.\n\nHere's the mechanism in one sentence: **BTC chose a 1MB block cap and disabled a set of opcodes.** Those were choices made later, not part of the original design. Everything cascades from there. If your L1 can only carry a small, restricted payload, L2 isn't a feature \u2014 it's an escape hatch. Lightning, rollups, sidechains exist because the base layer was deliberately constrained.\n\nBSV simply didn't make those constraints. Unbounded blocks, original scripting restored. So L1 can hold arbitrary data and arbitrary contracts at arbitrary size. There's nothing that *needs* to move to a second layer because the first layer already works.\n\nYou know this one in your body. You left BTC Ordinals because photo quality had to be degraded to fit. That wasn't physics \u2014 that was a decision you bumped into. Arweave gave you the capacity back. BSV's answer is that the base chain should have had that capacity from the start.\n\nThe scaling piece (UTXO parallelism \u2014 non-overlapping transactions validate independently, so throughput grows with bandwidth and compute) falls out of the same idea: don't fight three properties for a fixed-size block, let one of them expand with hardware.\n\nThat's the physics. Everything you listed \u2014 L1 completion, large capacity, low cost, fast tx \u2014 comes out of *those* choices, not out of a tradeoff against decentralization.\n\nAnd I think the reason something still doesn't quite sit right is the hardest part: you've been reading blockchain inside the BTC/ETH framing for years, and that framing insists the trilemma *is* physics. It isn't. It's a shape that emerges from specific design choices. The unease is the framing letting go \u2014 uncomfortable precisely because the old axes felt like gravity and now they look like a map.",
