Drawing on his front-row view of the 2017 block size wars, he breaks down the game theory that pushes miners toward enforcing new consensus rules, the UTXO bloat and OP_RETURN abuse that motivated the fork, and how Ocean, Datum, and hash rate renting are quietly redecentralizing Bitcoin mining. The conversation closes on a reframing of censorship resistance and self-custody, arguing that keeping Bitcoin usable as money is itself the point of resisting chain bloat.
