Hello. I am interested in learning about "The blocksize war".
I have been in Bitcoin since 2020, and therefore, I don't know the history before 2020. I know that it was a "debate" regarding the block size, but I want to read details about it.
I can google it, but I don't know who to trust. So, knowing that there are many knowledgeable people in this forum, could you tell me more about this period?
Of course, any relevant website, video, article is more than welcome.
Read "The Long Road To Segwit: How Bitcoin's Biggest Protocol Upgrade Became A Reality" by Aaron Van Wirdum. He's definitely the most trustworthy person you can find that wrote about the subject-matter.
