Bitcoin is a hot discussion, and now one of its frank members raises the alarm. Shamson MoBlockstream CSO and current CEO of Jan3 says that Bitcoin Core – the main program used by most of the contract – has become a “danger to Bitcoin”.
In response to a thread by the Bitcoin James O’Beirne developer, who challenged the recent allegations that Bitcoin users are completely free to “do things” if they do not agree with Core. This idea was pushed by Jameson Loop, who said sovereignty is a mentality – and that people should stop behaving as they need permission to work.

However, as O’Beirne indicated, this opinion is a little naive. For him, Bitcoin Core has “a huge amount of sticky strength.” Most companies and knot operators do not move away from them, not because they cannot, but because of the dangers and the huge costs involved in doing so. It is very complex, very firm and very reliable – even if there are other options there.
Samson MW took a step forward, as O’Beirne’s comments were re -published with a sharp statement: “Bitcoin Core has become a threat to bitcoin.”
What’s all about
Everything began with an artistic proposal earlier this year to remove the 83 -Bite Bit for the OP_RUTURN-a change that allows more data to be connected to bitcoin transactions. Although change will not affect the rules of consensus, it has sparked some severe reaction. Some people were concerned that this would lead to random mail, fragmentation on Blockchain and moved away from the main purpose of it as a cash tool.

Supporters, such as Lopp and Peter Todd, say that change improves innovation and eliminates outdated restrictions. But for people like MW, it is not only a symbol – it is about how decisions are made and who is really controlled.
With the Bitcoin knot – an alternative agent – now it is gained adoption, this conflict is similar to the technical dispute and is more like a deeper governance battle over the future of Bitcoin.
