##On Todays Show * [John Ratcliff](https://letstalkbitcoin.com/profile/user/jratcliff63367) reads his recent article Confessions of an R/Bitcoin Moderator which talks about the "is BitcoinXT an Altcoin" controversy that was used to justify banning discussion of the proposed fork from several prominent community hubs.* Adam reads a recent article from the [Wallstreet Technologist](http://wallstreettechnologist.com/2015/08/19/bitcoin-xt-vs-core-blocksize-limit-the-schism-that-divides-us-all) which ignores the community drama and focuses entirely on what it all means and why a fork can be a dangerous thing when it lacks consensus. These articles do not necessarily represent the opinion of the LTB show and are part of a series of readings we'll be doing from writers around the internet and the issue on this topic.
