Inside The Blocksize Wars with Adam Back and Jonathan Bier

Show Notes

Go behind the scenes of the #Bitcoin Blocksize War with Adam Back and Jonathan Bier. $ BTC 26,978 Block Height 808,683 Today's guests on the show are Adam Back and Jonathan Bier who join me to take us on a journey behind the enemy lines of the Bitcoin Blocksize wars. Why did a war start if everybody was in agreement that #Bitcoin needed a larger blocksize? What letter to 'The Community' raised the red flag for the 'Small Blocker' camp and why was it so important to them to enter the conversation? How did the conversations pan out over time and what mistakes were made by the 'Big Blocker' camp? What characters emerged during this period of conflict and what were their true intentions? How did the war come to a close and have we had peace ever since? A huge thank you to Adam and Jonathan for coming on the show and for everything they have done and continue to do for #Bitcoin!
