I was wondering if there are still person who maintains the algorithm for Bitcoin? If there were? How'd they didn't fix this one since its been revealed 2016. Or, the bitcoin's system allows them those acts which can affect bitcoin itself.
We all know that bitcoin is volatile and we can't deny the fact that even in the market, there is a manipulation by this powerful individual which highly affect its price and even in mining blocks there is. I will not be surprised if we woke up one day and find out that bitcoin collapses.
As far as I know(And I'm definitely not good with the specifics of bitcoin), a collection of devs are currently upkeeping everything. To fix this, a hard fork would be needed. If a hard fork were to be conducted, it will be quite problematic as all full nodes would need adopt the hard fork. Implementations such as BU have been created to try and combat this, however, that is still not an actual bitcoin.
But I would like this problem to be solved peacefully. I do not want a fork. Let all big companies come to a consensus.
