Why November Will Be The Real Test For Bitcoin
Category: Business
Duration: 01:10:32
Publish Date: 2017-07-25 02:30:00
Description:

Bitcoin core developer Eric Lombrozo and OB1 CEO Brian Hoffman debate whether SegWit2x is the best path forward, discuss who supported it and why, and whether the potential for a hard fork harms the price. They also discuss what happens to the power of core developers now that a change they didn’t support might get pushed through, what their ideal solutions for increasing transactions on the network are, and how much power miners should have.
