Bitcoin's Future: Should It Ossify or Keep Evolving?
Should Bitcoin's core rules remain fixed like digital gold, or should it continue evolving to unlock its full potential?
What if Bitcoin's true potential goes far beyond what we currently understand? In this deep dive, we explore one of Bitcoin's most crucial ongoing debates: should Bitcoin's core rules remain fixed like digital gold, or should it continue evolving to unlock its full potential?
We'll examine Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision, looking at his writings, code, and early design choices that suggest Bitcoin was built for something much bigger than just digital cash. From Bitcoin Script's flexibility to the early discussions about BitDNS, we'll see how the creator envisioned a system that could adapt and grow.
The video explores both sides of the debate:
• The case for ossification (keeping Bitcoin fixed)
• The arguments for evolution and growth
• The critical challenge of maintaining decentralization
• How these decisions impact Bitcoin's future
Whether you're a long-term holder, developer, or just curious about Bitcoin's future, this discussion is essential for understanding where Bitcoin might be headed.
