NVK on Bitcoin Ossification and Changes SLP582

NVK on Bitcoin Ossification and Changes SLP582

NVK of Coinkite rejoins me to talk about attitudes on Bitcoin development and consensus changes. We discuss how “ossification” is commonly thrown around as a term, but maybe there is a better term. “Extreme conservatism”? We talk:

  • What is ossification?

  • What about bug fixes?

  • What changes would NVK be interested in?

  • How many people will use Bitcoin?

  • What the market is focused on

  • It’s not your chain
