I don't care about bitcoin core, cash, sv or any of the other forks

>>55796714
5 guys still better Kool aid than Craig Wright

>They make a change setting the supply to zero.
>The majority of miners won't install the update
>Nothing happens
You need to understand that ultimately miners decide what happens. They are the sovereign, while the devs can just make suggestions.

>>55796714
>he doesnt understand how the voting for hard forks works
Retard alert

>>55796714
Yes because we all know Satoshi is still in control or at least heavily involved and I trust whatever he does

Bitcoin doesn't hardly need an update anymore, the only things left would be minor optimizations (some privacy on layer 1 would be nice but I'm not counting on it) and then to oversee the transition from mining to transaction fees to protect the network in 80 years

This, I love how anyone thinks the miners don't hold all the power when it comes to blockchains. There have already been multiple forks of BTC, it's not like this is theory, we've seen it happen.

>They could change the max supply to zero if they wanted.
you can also do it, just do a git clone, change one line and recompile it
but then you have to convince everyone to run it

>>55796936
r/buttcoin will never understand

>>55796736
what if they discover another bug that lets people mint more than 21 million bitcoins like they did a few years back? will the miners fix it themselves?

What if you were not a retarded faggot?

Don't forget how no one will be mining this coin after the next halving and it will slowly dump over time.

Slowly but surely back down to $0

>>55796714
>only 5 Bitcoin core main developers.
And consensus from miners constituting 95% of hash power

>>55797198
>oy vey this thing happened you can tell because nobody has proof
Holy fuck its over

>>55797229
no u, bitch.

>>55797270
the bug was very real. you can see for yourself here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-17144

>>55797348
It was cirrexted by the devd and accepted by the miners

Are you fucking retarded

>>55797387
you're out of your element. get lost. you're like a child that wanders in during the middle of a movie demanding to be told what's happened before. leave. insect.

>>55797198
and yet we are all still here. i bet if there was a serious bug that got exploited or a 51% attack people would still be buying bitcoin after a while. we've come too far now to turn back now and this train is not stopping for anybody no matter what the miners/devs decide

One of them is a woman too. I sold off a portion of my stack when that happened. Women on the dev team are always a recipe for trouble.

>>55796714
I'm buying because you sound retarded

>>55796784
you forge about UASF. It's not only the miners who decide otherwise we would have bigger blocks since a while
see https://cointelegraph.com/explained/uasf-vs-uahf-explained
in other words: run a bitcoin node

>>55796714
Anon you need to go back

>>55796714
no, they don't
>>55796736
no, they don't
>>55796784
no, they don't
>>55797198
yes, anyone can fix trivial arithmetic bugs
>>55797721
they won't let her do anything, it's purely optics
>>55797848
precisely. if you want total miner/exchange control you want bcash.
