We still need to update whatever they suggest, they can't like 1 click bring down BTC.
Didn't think so. Any major change to the protocol would need 51%+ to agree correct?
I have some old buddies who are under the impression the entire protocol is in the hands of these devs and say the trust in the protocol is overvalued. I keep tellin them to stop believing headlines but I couldnt explain why that wasn't the case
Let me find this podcast which I recently listened about this!
