@Jeff Booth I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on Aaron Day’s and Steve Patterson’s observations and theses on Hijacking Bitcoin.
I’ve had many of these observations over the years: Big blocks should have helped to scale up transaction speed, per Satoshi’s original intent to keep Bitcoin a medium of exchange.
I’ve become uncomfortable over the past couple years as I’ve seen the many points of centralization in Bitcoin’s evolution, something which I witnessed significantly in 2018; and have been convinced of in 2025, seeing the problems in Bitcoin Core.

Some sober realism about the state of Bitcoin is in order.
This may take more honesty and courage than we can muster, to save.
