The lesson of the #blocksize #conflict two cycles ago was: we the node operators control the #Bitcoin protocol - not the miners.

Any protocol or #PoW algorithm change would have to be approved by a supermajority of the node operators to be included in Bitcoin - not by Luke DashJr and his supporters.

As abrasive and undiplomatic as he is in general, he turned out to be right during the #UASF era, and seems to be on the right track now. Even his proposal to reduce the blocksize has merit enough to be seriously considered.
