Block propagation speed.


How does that make any sense?

Block sizes are under 1MB.

Anyone can rent a VPS for under $10 USD per month that would transfer that in 1/100th of a second.

The block time is 10 minutes.

Why do people repeat stuff like this? Is it because you have seen other people say it and never stopped to look at the math?
