How has the size of a Bitcoin block evolved over time, and what factors have contributed to these changes? Did the early days of Bitcoin have smaller block sizes, and if so, how did the community eventually decide to increase them? Were there any notable debates or challenges faced in making these adjustments? How does the current block size compare to the initial one, and what impact has this had on the scalability and transaction speed of the Bitcoin network?
