The Blocksize War: The battle for control over Bitcoin’s protocol rules

Book Report Number Nine

Prompt "The Blocksize War: The battle over who controls Bitcoin’s protocol rules"

The Blocksize War: The battle over who controls Bitcoin’s protocol rules by Jonathan Bier is a retelling of the events that unfolded in the years starting from 2015 to 2017 involving the debate over the block size of BTC.

Spoilers, the small blocks won.

Both sides held sound arguments over increasing the block or not but as the book lays out, the key actors in the ecosystem point to their behavior that ultimately swung the court of public opinion.

The term perma-ware has been floated around to describe BTC since the software has shown that it is not upgraded as conventional software we are used to. 

I cannot think of any other software that has not reciprocated a major upgrade with a coin holder base of over a hundred million according to Buy Bitcoin Worldwide.

Anyway, heres the shills.
