GM 🤠🤙 great day for reading or listening to an audiobook ⛈️🤓
#UASF was before my time, but this book made me think about how i would have acted during the time. Questioning and testing your own principles is a great opportinity for personal growth and prepares for future conflicts 🫡
THE BLOCKSIZE WAR by Jonathan Bier:
#bitcoin #plebchain #bookstr #blocksize #uasf
Good morning😊☕
It was really a governance war. All parties wanted a block size increase. What was at stake, was whether bitcoin would be open development or proprietary.
Absolutely 🤠🤙 for me it also highlights the power and importance of running your own node. But with great power comes great responsibilty 🤓 in hindsight it all seems obvious, but everything could have gone a different direction 👀
Archives are still there. This was one of the main battle grounds. UASF was just huge. It changed the game theory alot. Biggest factor in the end was the futures market, but it was a combination of things.

Thinking about how you would have acted is good. Most people just observed. You made me realize there's a hidden story behind this that nobody knows. There were some basic misundersandings from the segwit2x folks as simple as " 5 * 5 is less than 100 ". Simple second order logic like this actually needs to be explained. It was only after this, and they realized their assumptions were wrong did they almost immediately back down (and Roger swooped in for the kill). I might fish out those emails one day and send them to Johanthan. Its a good book, but missing some details, and unfortunately named.
The title is catchy though 🙂 seems like there is enough material for a part two 👀 i am also intrigued to read Roger V.s book but i am not sure if it's worth the time 🤷♂️
Roger Ver just lies and lies and lies. Save your brain. Example:

Great read
