developers backstabbed the entire ecosystem by giving everyone the finger after segwit was activated instead of doing what they agreed to do in the New York Agreement
segwit2x and that "agreement" would have killed everything
BTC stands for.
That is a ridiculous take. The lies that were told to make people believe that Bitcoin couldn't handle a 2mb blocksize limit took an absolute army of censorship to push on the community. It is a lie and anybody who takes the time to think about it should come to that conclusion. If technology in 2009 was fine to make things work with a 1mb blocksize limit, you really believe a 2mb blocksize limit would have had any negative effects nearly a decade later with the advancements to networks and reduction in storage costs?
Bitcoin was an open source project. They fork when evil gets control of a project. It's a feature, not a bug. It sounds like you've sipped a little too much of the Blockstream kool-aid. The fact Bitcoin in it's current form was built on lies, censorship, and backstabbing should be an embarrassment to us all. I wish Gavin would have never stepped away. Blockstream bought the developers and tried to bully their way into controlling the entire Bitcoin infrastructure. What killed everything Bitcoin stood for is a company artificially limiting blocks to push their own bullshit patented scaling solution by paying off developers or just plain bullying them out of their roles. Only Cobra had the nuts to tell them to go fuck themselves when they came for bitcoin.org.
theses were indeed very strange times back then..
