If there were the win/lose battles they would have to take place in the same ring, they haven't as far as I can tell. Maybe something important happened? 70% network security? Lots of noise from the fringe while works getting done going forward. The inertia and resistance of bitcoin is allowing for safe as possible progress while working. And then there is WU/BU but I don't have a side except for bitcoins side. If it breaks it breaks. Guess that's trust for ya. If you try and succeed to control it, just burn it to the ground and start over.
