Book
This book chronicles the block wars that raged from August 2015 to November 2017 in the Bitcoin community. On the surface, the battle was over how much data is allowed in each Bitcoin block (the size of the blocks), but it revealed much deeper issues, such as who controls the rules of the Bitcoin protocol.
It is not possible to cover all the adventures of this extremely complex conflict, or all the related quarrels, but here I am offering you a chronology of the most important events. This book introduces some of the major figures who marked the conflict and covers some of the most acute phases of the struggle, at the front and behind the scenes.
The story in this book includes discussions with key players on both sides involved in the war, and explores their motivations, strategies, and thought paths as this exhausting campaign unfolded.
