Podcast: Stephan Livera PodcastPublished On: Fri Jun 07 2024
Description: NVK of Coinkite rejoins me to talk about attitudes on Bitcoin development and consensus changes. We discuss how “ossification” is commonly thrown around as a term, but maybe there is a better term. “Extreme conservatism”? We talk: What is ossification? What about bug fixes? What changes would NVK be interested in? How many people will use Bitcoin? What the market is focused on It’s not your chain Links: X: @nvk Bitcoinsecurity.guide coinkite.com Unleashed.chat Timestamps: (00:00) - Intro (00:52) - Ossification and gardening (06:06) - Where are the ossifiers?
