Re: The blocksize war

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.

That write up will give you the history, what caused the "Scaling Debate", the context why, and why the the Core Developers chose the path where we are today.

Thank you.

Plus be careful of those trolls and charlatans who will gaslight you and spread disinformation that will sort of look real and would look like they make some sense. When in doubt, you can always reach out to trustworthy people like Aaron Van Wirdum and others through Twitter.

Some of them will reply back, others won't, but it's important not to fall in the mind-trap of the Anti-Bitcoin-Trolls who will pretend to be Bitcoiners but are actually playing 4D Chess. Always reach out and good luck to your Bitcoin journey!
