"Ossification is complacency. Yes, we all agree that Bitcoin is great. But _I do not agree_ that Bitcoin has reached its full potential. I think complacency is one of the greatest threats to Bitcoin - we must not rest upon our laurels." — Lopp

Is there a clear and obvious path that can be argued for, or is there something else at play that limits both sides of the debate, possibly presenting a false dichotomy that can be overcome? We dive into a great article laying out the perspective of bitcoin OG, Jameson Lopp, followed by a short take by Aaron Von Wirdum before Guy's take to pull it all together.
To change Bitcoin, or to not change Bitcoin? Is that really the question?
