What are the scaling trade-offs in the so-called "block size debate"? Moore's Law, increasing capacity through additional layers, and the two engineering strategies: make the pipe bigger vs. make the content smaller (compression). Are we in a "honeymoon" period in terms of innovation potential without patents? Does Ethereum face more scaling challenges than Bitcoin? Will open blockchains compete or cooperate with banks, such as... offering fractional reserve services?

0:00 How would you solve the blockchain size / storage issue once widely adopted?

2:14 Being that you helped write 'Mastering Ethereum,' what do you think about the future viability for scaling versus current blockchain application platform competitors? I think you're positive about this, right?
3:57 Will blockchain technology replace trusted entities like banks completely, or will they use it to be prepared for the future even better? Do you think there is a consensus on working with banks, or do you think they will be replaced the way they are right now?
