Tesla founder Elon Musk believes that a 1000% increase to Dogecoin's block size will make DOGE the leader of the pack–but Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin doesn't agree. In a recent post on his personal blog, Vitalik took issue with Elon's claim that a massive increase to Dogecoin's block size would scale the network to a "winning" level. The exact claim in question? "Ideally, Doge speeds up block time 10X, increases block size 10X & drops fee 100X. Then it wins hands down," Elon wrote on May 15th.
