RE: Bitcoin Segwit2x has better tech? Programmer explains

in #bitcoin7 years ago

So you think this is a contest of control over future developments of bitcoin? Interesting. I would assume both BTC and B2X remain open source projects, where everybody can join in and contribute technically. Control over a currency isn't privy to the dev team, within Bitcoin there are 5 different groups who all extert specific extent of control. The development team is just one of those...

Great video!

Sort:  

he who controls the github repository controls the applications downloaded from it

Any Github repo can be cloned and forked. Open source projects are rarely defined by long term control by a single individual, I think you are overestimating what control Bitcoin core actually has.

Also, did you read the last statement of Coinbase:

"We are going to call the chain with the most accumulated difficulty Bitcoin"
