Guy's Take_096 - Hijacking Bitcoin

Roger Ver went on tucker carlson recently to discuss how the
government infiltrated Bitcoin development, took over the
protocol, and killed its potential to ever be electronic cash. He
wrote a book titled Hijacking Bitcoin to lay out this
story.
But there's actually another story of a small group who tried to
hijack Bitcoin, who sought to force out the developers who
wouldn't go along with what they wanted, who used leverage over
miners to keep them in line, who tried to hold bug fixes hostage
to pressure the network to fork, who had a significant portion of
huge bitcoin companies and the majority of the major mining pools
ready to get in line to fundamentally change Bitcoin.
This is a story of secret advantages, natural evolution of
protocols, backdoors, and half truths. Its time to talk about the
people who tried to hijack bitcoin and failed. It's time for a
Guys' Take episode.Host Links
