Topic: Bitcoin is set in stone - page 2. (Read 520 times)
Dunno. In those same 4 years, there were maybe a half dozen soft forks? Some of those were rule changes, albeit changes in preexisting rules. Do soft forks, of which there are demonstrably many, not count?
After almost 4 years of fork drama - despite all the lobbying shenanigans, the doom scenarios, the colluding of corporations and of mining cartels, regardless the agreements, the conferences, the social media war, the rage quits - the sheer ineptitude amongst bitcoiners to reach new consensus is instating a clear status quo in regard to Bitcoin's rules.
It may very be the time for bitcoiners to acknowledge that Bitcoin is as robust and immune to political pressure as its great inventor Satoshi - praise him be - intended to with the subtile genesis block:
Rejoy for immutability of the Bitcoin consensus rules is the most invaluable feature of the system if trust is at its core.
Bitcoin is set in stone and anyone still delusional about breaking those rules is promoting nothing else than some altcoin.
In any case, people are free to use Bitcoin. And they are free to leave it. Or hell they are surely free to fork off.
But if people still want in, it may be the time to surrender and abide to its unequivocal - unprecedentedly apolitical - status quo.
So the sooner bitcoiners give up the futile and useless divisions, the better.
Bitcoin is dead. Long live Bitcoin!
I'll leave two quotes for the heart broken forkers:

I believe this will be the ultimate fate of Bitcoin, to be the "high-powered money" that serves as a reserve currency for banks that issue their own digital cash. Most Bitcoin transactions will occur between banks, to settle net transfers. Bitcoin transactions by private individuals will be as rare as... well, as Bitcoin based purchases are today.
