It’s not a perfect analogy for talking about blockchain consensus, but I think you get the point in how it becomes increasingly difficult to reach consensus as a network grows larger and larger. And this is where the scalability issues begin, because network size and network speed are inversely related. So, when one increases the other decreases.
Pros
- One inherent weakness of blockchain technology is its inability to scale well. The problem stems from the fact that as the number of nodes in a network grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to reach consensus
Cons
- If you have a meeting with a small group of people it isn’t difficult to make decisions at all. You may find that some of you don’t agree on everything, but you’ll still easily see how each person feels, and be able to reach consensus.
