I was very early in my journey when all of this was taking place. I tried to follow the scaling debates and understand the implications of a hard fork vs. soft fork on the community, newcomers, and what is essentially a brand with no one in control.

Bitcoin was money created for the people, it’s not just another fintech product to be hijacked by VCs and corporations to extract value from the users and kill decentralization. I instinctively knew that whatever side of the argument Coinbase, BitPay, and Bitmain took, I was in the opposing camp.

No matter how many times I heard the arguments that increasing the block size to vastly scale on-chain transactions, it never made any sense to me, and I somehow knew that we would win. I even lost a few friends during that time – casualties of a virtual war with real-world implications.
