A Discussion About Making Changes/Upgrades To Bitcoin w/ James O'Beirne
Feb 7 2023 • 1hr 59m
Show Notes
While I tend to focus more on the socio-cultural or 'philosophical' aspects of bitcoin, I still think it's very important to have an informed perspective on how bitcoin works 'under the hood', especially in terms of how potential changes or upgrades to it are identified, developed, and implemented.
I've found James to have a balanced, thoughtful, and humble perspective on the matter, combined with direct experience and expertise that few others have. As a result, I thought he would be an ideal person to explore this topic with.
Enjoy!

Very important discussion, good to consider the pros & cons of various methods, like Speedy Trial vs UASF.

The concerns over the future of Bitcoin development and self custody are very real and something that every Bitcoiner should reflect on. As early Bitcoin adaptors we have a responsibility to make sure that every Bitcoiner in the future will have the ability to self custody.
