so why and when it went so wrong? none of that has had any real world impact since (check notes) forever... the only thing that bitcoin has done in 14 years is gone up in price and create products for 24/7 financial markets....
i wasn't there so won't know for sure, but is it possible that those who won the block size wars were the bad guys? i don't mean in the sense of block size, i mean in the sense that they just wanted to make bitcoin a worldwide scam?
