PART 2/7
What was the Blocksize War really about?
(and why couldn't we reach agreement to just "make it bigger?")
This is the nerdy stuff, but important to actually understand the history of all this - especially with the nonsense one will get from Bcashers on what the debate even was.
If you want to skip this, then just jump to the last 30 seconds. One common bcasher claim is that there was always consensus on making the blocks bigger and scaling limits were a completely made up issue. It's worth noting where the debate about scaling bitcoin truly began.
