The Bitcoin Consensus Red Herring

"In a recent post on bitcointalk, I stated that focusing solely on the forking risk created by alternative implementations is a red herring because, while there is certainly risk involved, it is merely a symptom of a more fundamental issue that all implementations, including Bitcoin Core itself, suffer. This statement seems to have confused a few people, so, in this blog post, I’d like to delve a little deeper into why this is the case, identify what the real underlying issue is, and offer a potential solution."
