Bitcoin Mechanic — The Soul of Bitcoin (BIP110)

About this episode

"21 million isn't a promise. It's a rule — and rules only hold if your node enforces them."

Bitcoin Mechanic — of mining pool OCEAN — says Bitcoin is in a civil war, and most holders don't even know it's happening. The fight isn't over price. It's over who's actually in charge: Core or Knots, miners or developers — or the nodes that quietly outvote them all. We get into the Eye of Sauron turning toward Bitcoin, why 21 million is a rule and not a law of nature, what running Knots actually does, and the battle for the soul of Bitcoin.
